Beef Stroganoff

December 10

Stroganoff, a creamy dish of sautéed beef that is Russian in origin, was one recipe my mum cooked all the time while I was growing up – it’s fabulous comfort food!

Method

  1. 1. Pour the oil into a large non-stick frying pan and place over a medium-high heat. Dust the meat in the seasoned flour then fry in batches until browned all over. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  2. 2. Drop the butter into the pan, add the onion and leek and fry for 5 minutes before adding the mushrooms. Increase the heat, season with salt and pepper and cook until the mushrooms are lovely and golden, then add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  3. 3. Cook the fresh pasta in a large saucepan of boiling, salted water for 1–2 minutes then drain.
  4. 4. Meanwhile, return the meat to the frying pan, pour in the wine and let it all bubble away for a minute. Add the lemon zest, cream, mustard, paprika and a splash of water to loosen it up.
  5. 5. Add the tagliatelle, toss well to coat the pasta in the creamy sauce, then serve scattered with lots of parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice.
