That's pretty much it. Beef, mushrooms, onions, sour cream, You can
get by without the flour if you don't mind a thinner sauce. I THINK
the only basic difference between Stroganov and Boeuf Bourguinone
(sp?) is the Bourguinone.
You can even make a pretty decent vegan Stroganov with portobellos,
tempeh and soy sour "cream".

You'll also need wine in there as well. The last time I made stroganoff,
it involved browning the meat, reserving the fat, cooking the flavoring
vegetables, deglazing with wine, then adding everything back in. The sour
cream gets added right at the end.

My mother made an excellent Beef Stroganoff and her finishing sauce is as
follows:

2-3 c. rich beef stock or consomme, which will gel when chilled; 1 tsp.
Worcestershire, 1/2 can of tomato paste, 3 Tbs. room temp-unsalted butter
and just before removing from heat quickly stir in 1 c. cold sour cream.

Jill

all i use when doing stroganoff is butter, sour cream, salt, pepper,
and nutmeg.

The following is very close to what I do.

1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour;
combine to make BEURRE MANIE; I only do this as a last resort. I always
have roux on hand.
1-1.5 cups beef stock; add tomato paste or tomato sauce to taste; from
this make veloute sauce with 2 tb flour equivalent of roux/1.5 cups
sauce;
Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to saute pan; saute 1/2 cup thinly sliced
shallot and .5 lb cremini mushrooms, trimmed and halved.
Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper or to taste.
Add 1 (.75-lb) piece beef tenderloin, trimmed, sliced 1/4 inch thick,
then cut into 1-inch pieces; add to simmering veloute sauce for 30
seconds; add 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill; add 3 tablespoons sour
cream at room temperature;
Serve over patty shells. This will serve two.
It's incredibly easy. It only works with tenderloin, which is
disgustingly expensive at this moment.
Cheers,
Kent

Not really, first there is no such thing as "Stroganoff Sauce".  Beef
stroganoff is a recipe which first appeared in 1871 and is attributed to the
Baron Stroganoff and his French chef.

The recipe is simply fillet mignon, onions and mushrooms sautéed in butter
then deglazed with beef stock and sour cream added at the end.  Some recipes
call for a little Dijon mustard as well as a small amount of tomato paste,
then thickened with a roux. Salt and pepper of course were also used.

So now you have the essential flavors of what you refer to a "Stroganoff
sauce" - Remember it is a recipe not a sauce that is places over something
else.

Thanks to all of you for your recipes and input! What I'm
doing for an easy and tasty sauce that tastes like stroganoff
to me, is using about half a can of cream of mushroom soup
(Kroger brand), and almost as much sour cream (low fat, again
Kroper brand). I like it on potatoes cooked in a microwave.
It may not be a real stroganoff, but may be about as close
as what you get from Hamburger Helper :-)

You THINK incorrectly.  Get a Julia Child cookbook, a basic french
regional cookbook or just Google.

You snark unfairly. Boeuf Bourguignon and Beef Stroganoff have many
similarities. Both tend to be served over egg noodles, both involve pan
frying the meet as the first step, both involve wine reductions, and both
share many of the same flavoring vegetables.

They differ based on basic preparation and fat contributors. Boeuf
Bourguignon, a braised dish, gets its fat (and flavor) from the varied
pork products. Beef Stroganoff, a sauteed dish, has less fat but has the
sour cream in the finishing sauce.

And, really, if you're going to get snooty to posters you should be
suggesting people read Larousse Gastronomique. It's going to be a bit more
authoritative than Julia Child.

-------------------------------------------
Look, Turkey - I wrote THINK because, although my Stroganov is from a
good Russian cookbook, I haven't made Boeuf Bourguinone ofen enough to
have memorized the recipe.

FYI I own four Julia Child cookbooks (having bought the first one when
I was about 20) and I have perused the Gastronomique at length but
have not read it cover to cover.

Maybe not turnip trucks, but aren't there a lot of sugar beets up there? :)

Just substitute Alfredo sauce.  There is no difference at all.  None.

Yes, I understand that you can substitute Alfredo sauce for just about
anything!  I can't imagine a dessert sauce without it. <G>

<g> Alfredo Sauce. There is no Alfredo Sauce...

Nice to see a variation on the Alfredo discussion. Anyone up for a bet on
how many people get upset by Victor's post because Alfredo sauce is
different to Stroganoff <vbg>
