Ok another controversial dish. Except the dehydrated onions and the ground beef added this is the recipe from 1871 by Elena Molokhovet's. Its called Govjadina po-strogonovski, s gorchitseju, "Beef à la Stroganov, with mustard" in her Russian cookbook called A gift for young housewives. This is the earliest known recorded recipe of Beef Stroganov.
View original recipe on cookpad.comAdd the mustard, salt, pepper and allspice to the meat. Melt the butter and add the ground sirloin and stew meat. Let brown. Add beef broth. Usually you let cook for long period. I pressure cooked for 25 minutes.
Mix the flour and sour cream. Temper the sour cream and flour mixture with some of the beef juices.
Add sour cream mixture to the meat mixture and allow to cook very low heat. This will allow the flour to cook without breaking the sauce. Cover remove from heat and allow to rest 10 minutes.
Slice the potatoes into small shoestrings sized French fries. Add salt to cold room temperature water. Add the potato fries to the water. Allow to soak 15 minutes. This allows the salt to absorb into the potatoes.
Heat oil. Drain and dry the potatoes. Fry in oil till done. Move to a paper towel to absorb excessive amounts of oil. Serve, over the French fries. I hope you enjoy!!!
