I came up with The BEST Beef Stroganoff a few years back. We were studying Northern and Eastern Europe, and Northern Asia and Russian regions in school, and I decided to make recipes for the kids from the regions we were studying. Beef stroganoff is a Russian dish, bit has some French flavors.
It is SO wonderful on a cold winter’s day! This is definitely a “comfort food”.
The BEST Beef Stroganoff
Personally, I like mine with red pepper flakes, or some mince serranos. The kids like it with parmesan cheese!
