Real Fast Stroganov!

Pete first cooked the quick and easy Beef Stroganov from Nigel Slater’s Real Fast Food several months ago. I liked it so much I wanted him to cook it the very next night but he’s kept me hanging till tonight. It was just as delicious as I remembered.

Yes, I know it’s odd to serve it in Yorkshire puddings but it’s what I really, really fancied so Pete indulged my whims!

We adjusted the amounts according to the nearest pack sizes available; it’s a pretty flexible recipe in terms of volumes.

  • 225 g rump steak
  • 1 tsp paprika

    Thanks for adding your Nigel Slater recipe to Dish of the Month. I hope you will come back and join us again next month. The yorkshire pudding idea is inspired.

    Sorry, I’ve updated the recipe with the volumes in Nigel’s original recipe, though you can adjust these a lot, it’s very adaptable.
