Beef Stroganoff


I tried this one for the first time this week and it was very easy to make. With a meal like Beef Stroganoff you easily expect hours of preparations and cooking - but this is so simple. So, when you hear simple and quick, you would think the quality would be less than amazing, but that's where you are wrong.


This meal is just simply amazing for a weekday dinner, but could also easily be used for a weekend special.


I usually use a little bit more meat than the recipe says, and I am not a slave to the measurements of vegetables and such. I am sure I used more mushroom than the recipe says, and next time I will also use more onion - just because it was all so good. But with the extra bit of meat and 3dl of creme fraiche (instead of 200g) this was dinner for 2, as well as a good size lunch for both of us the next day.


We had this with rice this time, but will try it with pasta next time.


Enjoy!
