Making Beef Stroganoff

Welcome back- great kitchen!

I love making beef stroganoff- Worcestershire and nutmeg are musts! I noted your use of nutmeg- "not much... just in the background... you won't even kinda know it's there." But I bet you'd catch something was missing if it wasn't there!

We're having a couple of folks over tomorrow and it was going to be a pot roast meal. Maybe beef stroganoff instead!

Recipe looks super yummy! I can only rarely eat things like this as they are high in saturated fat, since I have heart issues.

The light shade reminds me of the one that was in our kitchen when we moved in back in 1957. It wasn't bright enough, so was replaced by a circline fluorescent not long after. The old fixture stayed on the basement shelf for many years, but I think we eventually sold it at one of our yard sales.
 
Love the new ktichen!

Kevin the Beef stroganoff looks like it would be great! My mother used to make that dish from time to time, and it was always a family favorite. Love the new kitchen as well! I couldn't help noticing the red 1950's kitchen table and chairs. Per chance, did you purchase the set from the Antique Barn, in Allen Michigan? I reason I ask is that I sold one identical to yours when I was selling there, a couple years ago. Wondered if it could be the same set.
 
The only beef stroganoff I've had was of the Hamburger Helper variety (as a finicky eater, I loved any Hamburger Helper meal growing up!) or the stroganoff served at the school. I've kind of forgotten about stroganoff -- it's not my absolute favorite but I did like it. Maybe I shall try the recipe and be introduced to what looks like a really good version of stroganoff!
 
Thanks so much, everyone!

I appreciate all the comments on the kitchen - thank you! The Stroganoff was great - served it with roasted carrots and it was a nice winter's supper.

Bob - the two burner cooktop is a GE.

Rick - I found the little Formica dinette at a garage sale a couple summers ago.

Hans - No worries!! I'm hoping to make it back down to NC one of these days for a visit!

Thanks again!
 
Beef Stroganov

a dish of sauteed pieces of beef in a sauce with smetana(sour cream)

yes, Ralph is correct, the handsome devil, it's Russian origins date back to the mid 19th Century.....

although there are many variations.....

as we are Russian, it was a dish served many times at our house....Grandmom would serve it over noodles, or even over a baked potato...
 
No Egg Noodles, Tovarisch!

Real Stroganoff is served on potato, not egg noodle. Not sure who ever came up with that idea, but every school cafeteria in America served it that way. The best recipe I have found is from a Russian You-Tuber named Boris. Link attached below. It's in English, but beware...90% of Russian language is bad words! If you have time, his cooking videos are worth checking out. Cheburek, semechki halva, holodets, and home-made kvass are some of the goodies you will find.

 
Great To See Cavalcade of Food Back

Kevin and Ralph!  Your new kitchen is the bomb.  I also have Farberware Classic pots and pans and I love them.   Your recipe for Beef Stroganoff looks very good.  I’ve not seen the addition of butter, toasted bread crumbs to noodles before and it looks like it would be very good. 

 

Congratulations on  a magnificent  job on your new, beautiful vintage kitchen.
