Is it your first time doing an international dish for iftar? Worry not, for this is in the podium!
When we’re seeking something decadent, but don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen, beef stroganoff is a perfect option: it’s quick, simple, casual, yet delicious. I’ve heard people say that the dish is dated or old-fashioned, but a classic never loses its charm. Maybe thirty years ago it was overused and abused at dinner parties. Forget about that. A well prepared beef stroganoff (or stroganov, strogonov) is completely satisfying: succulent meat and mushrooms, cohabiting in a wonderful creamy sauce and served over noodles. What’s not to like?
Make a roux by melting the butter and whisking in the flour, cooking for 2 minutes, stirring.
Slowly add beef stock, stirring constantly.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and reserve, keeping it warm.
Dry the pieces of beef with a paper towel, season with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 Tbs olive oil on a large skillet and brown the meat on both sides, but do not try to cook it completely.
Transfer the meat to a plate and reserve. Add remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet and cook the shallots, cooking for 3 minutes.
Add the mushrooms and cook for 8-10 minutes, until all the moisture evaporates, and they start to brown.
Return the meat with its juices to the pan. stir to combine and transfer to a serving plate.
Reheat the reserved sauce over low heat, add the sour cream, mustard, dill, season with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over beef and serve over noodles of your choice.
