What is Beef Stroganoff
Beef Stroganoff is a Russian dish that consists of thin slices of beef served in a sauce. There are many different variations of this dish but in the United States it is commonly served with sautéed mushrooms and onions in the sauce as well. Beef Stroganoff can be kept refrigerated for 3-4 days.
What is Stroganoff sauce made out of?
The sauce for Beef Stroganoff is a roux based sauce. After the mushrooms and onions are sautéed, add equal parts butter and flour. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until flour is no longer raw. Next add the beef broth and stir to completely incorporate. Bring to a simmer and the sauce should begin to thicken. The sauce will be ready when it is able to coat the back of a spoon.
