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