People have been asking me for a recipe for Beef Strog for years!! Here it is folks and it's not a Thermomix recipe. Oopsie! Just did a few videos for Brownes Dairy using their very pretty new branded cream range and this of course stars the Light Sour Cream. I did enquire as to why Light and no full cream...apparently West Aussies are so switched onto full cream milk there is literally not enough cream to make the full cream version! How's that? I was pretty impressed. I have to say however, the light version was very rich and well textured, so no problems with the Brownes version of sour cream at all.
I didn't make the Thermomix version that I could have, largely because it is almost simpler not to. Check out the video to see how simple. Seriously! Just too easy.

It is perfectly acceptable to serve Stroganoff with flat noodles, but my Russian great great grandmother would potentially turn over in her grave. I do love strog with noodles. But on this occasion I went with the more politically correct (these days) Cauliflower Mash or puree. You know you can use regular mash as well right? Whatever does it for you!
