Beef Stroganoff

How To Prepare Beef Stroganoff/Stroganov

Life of a foodie is quite an interesting one.  It not only exposes you to diverse recipes across the globe but it equally exposes you to the deeper creativity that goes on the kitchen and how great chefs can transform just about anything into a great dish. 

Beef stroganoff is a Russian recipe that I learnt and decided to try home cooking it and it came out just perfect,  one great trick about this dish is that it tastes greater than it looks. Though I made some little adjustment to the ingredients,  given to the fact that we are in Nigeria,  I had to use ingredients that you can quickly grab if you ever want to try the recipe. 

So, to my Russian followers,  don't feel hurt if some  of your presuppose ingredients are incomplete.  Common,  cooking is all about creativity and innovation. #smiles
