A Creamy Meal Perfect for a Cold Winter Day
You spent 20 minutes scraping ice off of your car this morning, stepped in a puddle of cold, wet slush on the way into the office, and now that you’re on your way home, there’s a blizzard impeding your travel. And you’re starving.
A tough winter day calls for a hearty meal.
Try out this creamy Beef Stroganoff recipe and give your taste buds some comfort food!
Tender, hearty beef strips, and mushrooms give this dish a deep umami meatiness. The mild, slightly sweet yellow onions add a rich flavor to the gravy, balanced with the creamy tanginess of the sour cream. A touch of rosemary elevates the savory notes for an overall substantial, delicious dish.
People in the US like to serve this over wide or twisted egg noodles, but traditionally in Russia, this culinary delight is typically served over shoestring potatoes, or sometimes mashed potatoes.
It can be served over anything you like, but I highly recommend skipping the “traditional” egg noodles and putting this over a hot plate of mashed potatoes. You’ll thank me once you try it.
When the cold bites, bite back with creamy, meaty beef stroganoff!
