How to prepare beef stroganoff
- Cut the meat into thin strips. Chop the onion. Cut the mushrooms into large slices.
- In a little oil, fry the veal over high heat for 1-2 minutes, until it changes color.
* If you use another cut of veal that takes longer to cook, taste the meat and if it seems tough, add a cup of water at a time and braise it until it becomes tender. At this step, the meat must be fully cooked! - When the meat is done, transfer it to a plate. Add the mushrooms and onion to the pan, reduce heat to medium, and let the vegetables soften. Stir occasionally, about 8 minutes. Return the meat to the pan.
- Add the sour cream, stir, and simmer for 1 minute. Then add the mustard and tomato juice. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until you get a creamy sauce.
- Turn off the heat and add the gherkins cut into thin strips.
