Beef Stroganoff (Gene Watkinson)
1½ lb topside sliced 1½” thick 6 oz button mushroom caps 1 tbsp tomato puree ¼ pint sour cream	Freshly ground black pepper 2 oz unsalted butter ¼ tsp French mustard Salt	2 medium onions 1 tbsp flour ½ pint beef stock
Cut fat away from the meat, lay flat and beat well. Cut into ¼” wide strips and then cut the strips into 1” lengths. Sprinkle with pepper and rub in lightly. Peel and slice the onions. Wipe, destalk and thinly slice the mushroom caps. Heat butter in a pan over low heat and fry the onions for 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, frying for 3-4 minutes. Add the meat strips and increase the heat and fry until the colour of the meat changes to grey. Sprinkle in the flour, stir and fry for another minute. Combine the purée, mustard and beef stock, and add to the frying pan, stirring to mix smoothly. Bring to simmering point and simmer for 30-35 minutes. When the meat is cooked, check seasoning, and then stir in the sour cream and heat gently without boiling.
