Why this recipe works
Beef Stroganoff delicate with creamy sauce
A good beef stroganoff tastes strong, but not heavy. Onions and mushrooms give depth, mustard brings spice, sour cream makes the sauce round. If the meat cooks too long, it becomes firm; therefore it is only warmed up shortly before serving.
