Beef Stroganoff
Beef Stroganoff consists of buttery egg noodles, surrounded by tender strips of sirloin in a creamy, tangy sauce.
What Type Beef Should I Use for Beef Stroganoff?
Sirloin steak works best for this dish, however, you can use round, rib eye, skirt, flank or flap steak. The important thing is to make sure the meat is fork-tender.
If you use round steak, you might want to marinate it in a citrus-based mixture. Use lemon, lime, vinegar and a little oil; put the steak into a plastic bag, pour the marinade in the bag and massage it into the steak. Allow the round steak to sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
If you use skirt, flank or flap you’ll want to brown the meat first, then add broth and seasonings, cover and allow to simmer for about 45 minutes or so. There is another option, (but it really changes the dish from a “Stroganoff” to a “Goulash“) is to use ground beef. Drain the fat off the beef after you’ve browned it.
What Type of Noodles Should I Use?
Wide egg noodles– but you can use any type of pasta…wide egg noodles are the traditional ingredient.
