This recipe features a small modification to the beef stroganoff recipe I posted earlier, but a good one: a cup of cream and cremini mushrooms give this dish a very rich taste.
Field mushrooms will also work good in this recipe, but cremini are the best.
As usual, I suggest serving beef stroganoff with a side of boiled buckwheat, it tastes great with mushrooms and cream and, of course, beef.
Ingredients:
- 3lb of beef sirloin
- 8oz of mushrooms, I used cremini mushrooms
- 1-1.5 cups of heavy whipping cream
- 5-6 bay leaves
- 1 big onion
- 2 tablespoons of all purpose flour
- Ground black pepper to taste
- Salt to taste
- Oil, I prefer sunflower oil

Thank you!
Happy New Year Julia! Made this last night, very tasty! I was wondering though, we didn’t have heavy cream back in the day, what did people use for the recipe? Sour cream? Milk? Also, I noticed some recipes include cognac and beef broth, have you tried it? Does it really alter the taste much?
I think sour cream will work too, I do the version of this recipe with chicken and use sour cream for it. Never tried cognac, beef broth will be good addition I think.
This recipe is also fabulous with wild game.
I think this looks really yummy! This is beef stroganoff like my Mom makes it. My husband is completely averse to mushrooms so I don’t get to make it with mushrooms.
