Jackie Kennedys Beef Stroganoff Recipes

JACKIE KENNEDY'S BEEF STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Cut beef into thin strips (it's easier if meat is partially frozen), sprinkle freely with salt and pepper, and let stand, covered, for 2 hours in a cool place.
• Make a roux by blending flour with 3 T melted butter until mixture bubbles and is smooth.
• Using a whisk, gradually blend in beef stock and cook until mixture begins to thicken.
• Cook for 5 minutes, then add sour cream alternately with tomato juice or paste, stirring constantly.
• Simmer very gently, without boiling, for 1 minute.
• Brown beef in remaining 3 T butter with grated onion.
• When the meat is browned, pour the meat, onion, and butter into the sauce.
• Taste for seasoning and simmer very gently or cook in a double boiler over hot water for 20 minutes.
• This is very good served over buttered noodles.
