300 to 400g of sirloin
sour cream

dry herbs
black pepper (freshly ground)
salt
tabasco
worcestershire sauce
a small onion
two cloves of garlic
butter
olive oil
fresh salsa

of course not ALL the ingredients are essential.

for the potatoes:
you will peel them and slice them in big chunks, cook them in boiling water, drain the water. when the stroganoff recipe is almost ready, you will use two tablespoons of butter to slighly fry them with some fresh chopped salsa.

for the stroganoff:
you will chop the onions and garlic
slice the beef into strips
season with salt and pepper

heat some olive oil in a pot, add the garlic, then the onion
then add the strips and fry for a bit
just when they are not looking so raw you will pour a glass of red wine, one shot of brandy, and some worcesteshire sauce

put the lid on and let it cook for a bit, but remember to stir

put the temperature down

add dry herbs, more black pepper, even nutmeg if you like, some tabasco

REMEMBER TO STIR A BIT and thats really quick about, 5-8 mins
then you add 2-3 tablespoons of sour cream

the most common mistake people make is adding too much sour cream, making it soupy

it should be ready to serve with the potatoes now

and thats it

its good with red wine, or even beer

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to knox again.

Thank you, m'dear.
