My Fathers Beef Stroganoff Recipes

MY FATHER'S BEEF STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Take beef cubes, water, season salt (to taste), and large slivers of onion, place them in pressure cooker.
• Cook on high until the little jiggler on top of the pressure cooker is going very fast and all crazy then turn heat down to medium leaving the jiggler at a slower steady jiggle, cook for about 20 minutes before you open the lid to check if the meat is done.
• When meat is done, drain all except 1/2 cup of the water, the onions are optional to keep in - personally I take them out.
• Add milk, cream of mushroom, golden mushroom, and sour cream, mix well.
• Simmer on low heat for at least an hour, stirring occasionally if desired, the longer it simmers the better, i usually leave it for 3-4 hours.
• Serve over prepared egg noodles.
