Beef Stroganoff

We watched MasterChef couple nights ago and contestants need to make beef stroganoff to impress the judges. Nick kept saying none of them used the right recipe because none of them used the sour cream. Anyhow, he showed me this Margret Fulton recipe he used before and I gave it a go. I think he is right. It must be the best beef stroganoff ever!

Firstly, season the beef stripes (750g fillet steaks, cut into strips) with salt and pepper then toss in the plain flour(1 tbsp). Melt 30g butter in a frying pan, add onions (2, sliced), stirring, slowly, till they are soft. Add mushroom (250g or more if you like, sliced), fry for a few minutes.

Remove the onion and mushroom from the pan, add 30g more butter, fry beef strips briskly when the butter is hot. It would take about 4 mins.

Return the onion and mushroom. Season with plenty salt and pepper. Mix all ingredients well for 1 min. Add tomato paste (1 tbsp) and sour cream (2/3 cups), then cook for couple minutes longer until they are all heated through. Serve immediately with rice, pasta or even hot buttered toast!
