Beef Stroganoff (Messy Style)

So I was wondering what to make in my new Electric Steamcooker, do you know you can hardly find a recipe or any ideas of what to cook in it...well so I play and play.

It tasted awesome, but I must admit my pictures are nothing like what the real thing "should" look like.  I love making food with creamy sauces and mushrooms are my favourite..the correct Beef Stroganoff is placed on a bed of pasta (yes that is the fancy wording for dishing some pasta and then some stroganoff, one on top of the other)...because i was making mine in the Steamcooker i added potatoes and I also added rice...so it would become an all in one meal.

As i said before it was really tasty, it might look a bit messy but it was yummy:

1.  So you start with cutting up an onion and green/ red/ yellow pepper, put them all

     together in your pan, (or in my case Steamcooker) with a little oil or olive oil - which ever

     you prefer:

2.  Stir continuously until the onions are a golden brown in colour.

3.  Next step is to add your beef strips, you can use any meat you want, i used normal stewing beef, it works

     just as well.

4.  Add some spice, I like your good old chops spice, some mixed herbs, soja sauce and some salt.  The soja sauce gives the beef a nice brown colour.  Keep stirring so that the meats down burn on the bottom.  You will notice a nice brown overall colouring...your doing well

5.   Now you can add your mushrooms, since i have adjusted the recipe to suite me I have also added some

      potatoes, to make the meal strech a bit longer for a bigger family. 

6.  Now the next picture i thought was not the best, but i added it for you any way, since this is being cooked  in a Steamcooker i have added a bit more than normal fluid.  You can add some cream and on the side take some flour and mix it with milk to make a bit of a paste and then add it to the beef, so that your sauce will thicken. If lumps form don't worry just keep mixing they will dissapear as the mixture

    cooks. 

Since i'm using the Steamcooker, I had added my rice in (you would normally not add rice - the beef mixure after it thickens would normally be placed on some pasta), i had to close the steamer after this and leave it for about 10 min.

If you are not adding any rice to this beef then have it simmer for about 15 to 20 min untill your sauce thickens.  On the side you can cook some pasta and when that is done, serve the meal by placing the pasta on the plate and then the stroganoff.  I have added a picture of what it normally would look like, and then one of my end result, i know not really the same but still very good.:

Mine - I know i should hire a better photographer

Yummy

This is a very easy meal to make, especially if you are not in the mood for a lot of fuss and want some good and wholesome. 

Happy Eating - May the flavour find you!!
