A perfect Beef Stroganoff should be made with fillet steak and is ready within minutes. This version takes somewhat longer, but costs much less.

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 2 hours
Makes: 3 servings

Ingredients
500g leanish chuck steak, cut into strips
2 onions
50g butter, or a good glug of your preferred cooking oil, or a combination of both
275ml dry white wine
300g mushrooms, sliced
275ml soured cream
Salt and pepper to taste

Method

Peel the onions, cut into halves, and into halves again, then separate the individual layers.

Heat the oil or butter in a heavy based casserole and soften the onion for about 5 minutes until soft and golden.

Remove with a slotted spoon.

Raise the heat and brown the beef strips.

Return the onion to the pan, season and add the wine. Bring to a simmer, cover with a lid and leave to cook gently for about 1 1/2 hours, checking and stirring from time to time.
