Aunt Evas Swedish Stroganoff Recipes

STROGANOFF

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, saute the meat and onions for 10 minutes, or until the meat is browned and the onion is tender. Stir in the flour, salt and paprika. Then add the mushroom soup, mix well and cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low and add the sour cream, stirring well and allowing to heat through. Cover and set this mixture aside.
• Cook the egg noodles according to package directions. Drain the water from the noodles and pour the meat mixture over the noodles.

ONE-POT BEEF STROGANOFF

Steps:

• In medium bowl, mix beef and steak seasoning. In 5-quart Dutch oven, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Add steak in single layer; cook 4 to 7 minutes, turning once, just until browned on both sides. Using tongs, transfer beef to plate; cover with foil and keep warm.
• Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to drippings in Dutch oven; melt over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onion. Cook 7 to 9 minutes, stirring frequently, until mushrooms brown and onion softens.
• Stir in broth; heat to simmering. Place sour cream in medium bowl. Using ladle, spoon 1/2 cup simmering liquid into sour cream; beat with whisk to combine. Set aside.
• Stir noodles into mixture in Dutch oven; heat to boiling. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are cooked through and most of liquid is reduced (mixture will be saucy). Stir in beef and any accumulated liquid; return to simmering. Remove from heat; stir in sour cream mixture. Let stand 5 minutes.
• Top with parsley.

AUNT EVA'S SWEDISH STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Melt dripping in a pan that is large and heavy enough to hold at least 6 quarts of liquid and meat at a simmer for 4 hours.
• When dripping is at a "sizzle", add the cubed beef in small enough batches to thoroughly brown the cubes. Remove as soon as they start to "bleed-out.".
• When all beef is browned, add onion, stirring well until translucent but not too soft.
• Reduce heat to medium low and return the beef to the pot when your pan has cooled a bit. (Keep stirring while the pan cools, or just take the onions out.).
• Sprinkle flour over the cubes and stir well, scraping the bottom of the pot, until the flour is well-distributed.
• With heat still at medium low, return onions, if you removed them earlier.
• Gradually add the liquid, stirring and scraping the pot all the time to incorporate everything together.
• Turn heat up to med-high and bring contents to a slow boil.
• Reduce heat to simmer, cover and simmer, checking for liquid level and stirring occasionally. Add more broth if the liquid is getting too thick. You want enough liquid to make sure your cubes get tender.
• After about 4 hours, the beef should be tender and your liquid getting harder to thin. That's a good thing. It's hard to judge just exactly what the consistency should be without some experience. Keep at it, everyone seems to end up with a stroganoff that is runny or really thick at one time or another.
• Remove the pot from the heat, allow to cool just enough that the sour cream won't break when you put it inches.
• If you aren't sure about this, put in a cereal spoonful and see if it curdles or separates into curds and whey. If it does, it's too hot.
• When the beef mixture has cooled enough, gently fold in the sour cream, stirring slowly and steady until it incorporates completely with the rest of the ingredients.
• Serve immediately with egg noodles or on rice, if you prefer.

VEGAN STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt margarine in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; reduce heat to medium and saute until onion is translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add vegetarian crumbles and mushrooms; saute until mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.
• Mix vegan sour cream and soup mix together in a small bowl.
• Pour boiling water over bouillon cube and mix well until dissolved. Stir into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Mix in sour cream mixture, soy milk, and nutritional yeast. Cook until heated through, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Drain rigatoni and serve with sauce.
