Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat the beef suet or butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over high heat until melted and hot.
  2. Add the cubed beef to the pot and brown lightly on all sides.
  3. Season the beef with salt, pepper, and MSG (if using), stirring to coat.
  4. Add the chopped onions and sliced mushrooms to the pot with the beef.
  5. Pour in the dry sherry and stir well to combine with the beef and vegetables.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for about 10 minutes, allowing the onions and mushrooms to soften.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with the cold water until smooth and no lumps remain.
  8. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the beef pot continuously to thicken the sauce.
  9. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more water so the meat chunks are just covered when pushed down.
  10. Remove the pot from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly for a minute.
  11. Stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated and the sauce is creamy.
  12. Serve the Beef Stroganoff hot over egg noodles or rice.
