Beef Stroganoff

Beef Stroganoff recipe - Eat Well on Universal Credit

We're at “R” in our Around The World for £4 Or Less experiment. So it had to be Beef Stroganoff really....

This is what Wikipedia has to say:-

“ Beef Stroganoff or beef Stroganov is a Russian dish of sautéed pieces of beef served in a sauce with Smetana (sour cream). From its origins in mid-19th-century Russia, it has become popular around the world, with considerable variation from the original recipe. “

Well we're not sure if this is the original recipe, but it's a pretty good gig regardless. We had a piece of rump steak from the local supermarket in the freezer which cost the princely sum of £1.97, so we're well within budget with this one.

Ingredients:-

Decent Beef, cut into strips. (You don't need a vast amount of steak as the sauce is quite rich.)

1 Onion, sliced

50g Butter or Margarine

100g of Mushrooms, quartered

1 tbsp Flour ( We used Gluten free )

1 Beef Stock cube

A pinch of Mustard powder

1 tbsp Tomato Purée

220g Crème Fresh / Sour Cream

Salt & Pepper to season

Method:-

(1) Season the Beef strips with Salt & Pepper.

(2) Sauté the Onions until they are translucent.

(3) Add the Mushrooms and stir for 2 minutes.

(4) Add the Beef and sauté 5 minutes.

(5) Stir in the Flour.

(6) In a bowl dissolve the stock cube in 500ml of hot water and add the Mustard powder and Tomato Purée and blend well.

(7) Add this to the pan and bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

(8) Spoon some of the sauce into jug with the Crème Fresh / Sour Cream and mix. This will stop it splitting.

(9) Add the tempered Crème Fresh / Sour Cream to the pan.

(10) Season to taste.

We served ours on a bed of boiled rice with a salad and pickled Courgette strips to add a bit of colour.

Chicken Poppers recipe

Some folk like to go to McWimpy or Whopper King for their Chicken Poppers / Nuggets. We’d rather cook them at home and know what’s in them. Both Sue and I have done our time it those sorts of restaurants. But really it’s so easy and quick…..

Ingredients:-

Chicken Breast cut into 2Cm cubes
Soda Water
Self Raising Flour (Gluten free for us)
Garlic Salt
Ground Cloves
Ground Turmeric

Method:-

(1) Mix the dry ingredients with enough Soda Water to make a stiff batter.
(2) In a bowl with a little extra Flour coat the Chicken so that the batter will stick better.
(3) Heat a fryer to 180c.
(4) Coat small batches of Chicken pieces and fry until golden brown. If you have a kitchen probe you are looking for 75c in the middle.
(5) Drain on kitchen paper before serving.

We served ours with hand cut chips and home made Coleslaw. A little fresh Parsley added a bit of colour.
