Your channel made me love cooking again. Thanks to you, I keep my house stocked at all times, started going to professional cookery courses and rediscover my love of food. Thank you!
Russian subscriber here. You understand the essence of the recipe well, and your vision is good and new. Grilled onion and meat, rich sour cream sauce, and stewed together meat, onion and sauce. It's the essence of beef stroganov. Also I could say that we grill the onions harder until golden brown and add less spices and don't add Worcestershire sauce to make the sour cream taste brighter. Also try to do it with smetana, someone told me that west european sour cream is somehow different. Mashed potatoes are considered a classic side dish (always in melted butter and milk)
Thank you for sharing this. Might also try this version. Long live mada russia!! By the way do you use wine to degraze the pan fond? Or some local alcohol like vodka?
@@ImEmpTy295 Thanks. You can check out a version of the classic beef stroganoff from famous Russian chefs whose recipes I like. Yes, it's in Russian, but everything is shown there, I think it will be clear. We don't use alcohol (lol). Intuitively, it seems to me that it will not go well with sour cream. th-cam.com/video/Gv1AdsfHX9U/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/17bg5sdDSxM/w-d-xo.html
@@ImEmpTy295 There is a clear logic to your question: Stroganoff is a russian dish, therefore you should deglaze or pair with the typical local drink, vodka. But the history of this peculiar dish is as much french as it is russian. For that reason I stick with the red wine for both deglazing and pairing. Burgundy was good enough for Julia Child's beef stew, and it works just as well for this russian take on what is essentially another interesting version of beef stew. I have tried pairing frozen vodka shots with the stroganoff, but in the end I had to admit to myself that I preferred the red wine. As a side note, some of my favorite beef stroganoff recipes finish the sauce with a couple of tablespoons of cognac. This adds an entirely new dimension to the dish, but once again, it is a french rather than russian ingredient.
Cremini are the same species as common grocery store button mushrooms, just a brown color. Cremini, white button and portobella are all the same species, Agaricus bisporus. The chestnut mushrooms are something completely different, Pholiota adiposa.
@@teshamiller6001 You're welcome; most people don't know this little detail which started as a way for commercial growers to use product they might otherwise have to throw away; "Cremini" and "portobello" are just made-up names for marketing.
I just made it for the extended family. Big hit. I’m in the same boat where I always felt this dish was bland. This was the best stroganoff I’ve ever had.
A little tomato paste added into a dish and cooked a bit, can really add some extra flavor. Also, (not in this dish) sometimes just a few table spoons of chopped salsa - fresh, can really make a dish taste so much better. A little salsa gives it that 'something is in here but I don't know what' flavor. I like a little salsa in cream type soups, adds a bit of a kick.
I made this recipe yesterday...so delicious! Thanks so much. I used portabella mushrooms, but will visit my local organic market in the future. Tempering the cream mix is crucial - no busted cream!
God bless you man, this looks so good I'm crying on the inside. Making this next Tuesday when the family comes over. Thank you Edit: couldn't wait till Tuesday. Just made this for my guys get together. Made enough for ten. Six of us finished it. What an amazing dish. Again: Thank you
And Steven you made my day when I saw the Pennsylvania Dutch noodles. Can't get them where I live, drives me crazy! Thank you for the recipe, you are my hero!
I made this Saturday and it was just as amazing as I hoped it would be. I had a chuck roast on hand and used that along with Bella mushrooms. So good!!
I love how timeless this video feels, both from the recipe and the production talent. Came back after a year cause I just didn't have time for making this when I first watched. Now, I can finally close the tab in my phone and enjoy this beautiful dish!
Ok, so I made this tonight almost exactly as shown, but with two changes: 1. I used sirloin tip, because the store I went to didn’t have short rib. 2. To cook the mushrooms, I diced bacon in a cold pan, brought it up to temp to render the fat, cooked it until crisp, then added the mushrooms, thyme and salt. This was very good. I don’t know how it compares to authentic stroganoff, because I don’t know what the authentic recipe entails, and most recipes online use condensed mushroom soup 🤮 This was very enjoyable and comforting, as advertised. It reminds me of a simpler, less intense beef bourguignon.
This is exactly the same recipe my Mom taught me over 40 years ago, except she (and I) used sweet bell peppers in place of the carrots. It's still a family favorite.
MAN! I have seen MF's do the cooking thing online and on the tube, which I don't watch anymore, and I have to say that I wish my wife were still alive, I would be honored to fix such a dish for her just to see her facial expression when she ate this. You, my friend, are a master of old dishes for a time well gone. My hat's off to you! CHEERS!
She was the best outdoor cook I'd ever seen in my life. We met on a Friday night at her work place. (Long story) Were married the following Friday and it lasted 37½ years. Gave me 4 very smart and wonderful children, 2 boys and 2 girls. Just wish I could have had another 37½ years more.

I made this dish recently and was missing a recipe for it on your channel. It totally sucked, so I am happy to start over with your recipe next time :-D Thanks!
Watching your videos with joy from Czech Republic with my personal connection to NYC where I lived on the late 80's. You are doing a great job with your presentations both by content as well as by production quality ... huge respect!
Making this first time a bit more than a year ago, it was great. Wife asked for this for Mothers Day so I'll be working this recipe once again! Thanks for all you've done to grow our cooking chops!!
This is completely irrational but I get triggered when people call in bouef bourguignon. It’s beef stew! We’re not in fucking France lol! Great dish though.
I was watching your video when you were having a bad day and you made meatballs and rigatoni. I was also having a bad day so I also tried something out of the norm and did your beef stroganoff recipe. It came out so good and put me back into a good place. Thank you for your knowledge! P.S. You are nice on the eyes. 😜
Made this tonight and it was BOMB. Cannot overstate how delicious it was, even with some modifications. I didn't have mushrooms, and I just KNOW mushrooms would have made it so much better, but I had short rib in the freezer and mushrooms weren't going to be the reason i didn't make the recipe. I also used an Instant Pot -- I followed the instructions pretty exactly using the sautee function, pressure cooked for 40m with a 10m natural release, and then sauteed a bit longer to evaporate some of the liquid while I made the pasta. It was so, so good. Can't wait to try it with mushrooms, and highly recommend! If you own a pressure cooker, don't be afraid of the 3 hour wait time -- it adjusts well to the pressure cooker and I had dinner ready in a little over an hour with very little mess!
Random comment... 😂 Growing up with a single Mom made me appreciate generic foods. Fast forward, I bought generic Worcestershire sauce. NEVER AGAIN! 😂 Always Lea & Perrins from now on, forever! 😂
Excellent, 👌 that's pretty much exactly how I make it. Haven't done it with braised meet, due to time constraints, but that is definitely they way to go. Great video, great job. 👍
Can't wait to make stroganoff this year! Question: why did you choose to put in carrots? I don't usually associate sweet notes with stroganoff. Thanks for your videos!
In Russia, we also cook the rabbit in a similar way, using sour cream, white wine, onions and carrots. Works very well. Carrots balance of the sourness. The original recipe for stroganoff does not include carrots, but I think it will work, especially with added tomato paste (also, not traditional)
@@jennythewall2191 I mentioned it was used for sweetness, which I don't associate with stroganoff which is usually very umami heavy. Perhaps he's going for a more Japanese sweet/savory note?
@@elibrod9981 I could definitely see that with more gamey meat like rabbit -- I usually think of stroganoff as very umami heavy, so the sweetness threw me a little! Sounds delicious though!!
The carrot and the onion help offset the acidity of the red wine. There's a lot of wine in this dish. I just finished the stovetop portion of it, and I used half a bottle of red wine to get the pot deglazed. It's in the oven now, can't wait!
You're like the only you-tuber revealing the true secrets of cooking, no bull***. You make alot of people able to open restaurants man... Not to mention bringing happiness to normal people who doesn't have access to such extravagant dishes nearby.
Big fan of the videos. I absolutely hate wine, but have a parent who loves it. Ordering wine through the service for her with an extra benefit of helping your channel. Keep up the great work.
I have always made my own beef and chicken stock. And when I add my browned meat to the water, I add a turnip or 2, carrots, onions, if I happen to find some nice parsnips, in the pot the go. I don't add salt at this time..later. homemade stock makes a much better gravy, any beef soup..it is worth the time.
This looks amazing! I'm totally going to make something similar in the next couple days, so I'll try out some of your techniques. Those are Chestnut mushrooms (Pholiota adiposa), which are very different from white button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus - the same species as those criminis as well as portobellos - each is just a different stage of maturity). That doesn't matter too much, just thought it might be interesting. My one question is why didn't you put the mushrooms in along with the beef after browning? Mushrooms are remarkably good at standing up to long cooking times, and Chestnuts are even better than most other mushrooms. I wonder if you wanted to keep that earthiness separate from the body of the sauce intentionally -- the wine and beef will make that thing really deep to begin with. I think I'll try and add in the mushrooms a little earlier and report back. I love your videos, man - keep it up and thank you!
Thanks for the mushroom info! I'd be interested to know what you thought with timing on adding mushrooms. When you say they do well standing up to longer cooking time's, do you leave the mushy's whole, totally unsliced?
@@allyfrasier6306 I added them in just after the carrots and onion, but I think it might even be better to cook them a little on their own (a little water, then oil) and them add them in along with the other veggies. The way I did it worked great! I just like that mushroominess to spread all the way throughout the sauce and it definitely did! As far as how to cut them, I just quartered some criminis and I liked that but just cut them however you'd want to see them on your plate. They'll shrink a little bit, but they'll basically retain their shape. If you want a good video to explain the whole mushroom cooking thing, this one's great! th-cam.com/video/XLPLCmwBLBY/w-d-xo.html
is it possible to cook the sauce for three hours on the stove and not put it in the oven? don't have an oven proved dish right now but would looove to try this
I felt a brotherly kinship to you as you described your relationship with Stroganoff growing up, so much room for improvement and I think you took this to the best incarnation. This looks amazing.
Oh man, you just solved what I'm going to have for dinner. Love your channel. (edit) review - great recipe. I followed the recipe completely with the exception of I used a chuck shoulder instead of short ribs. My local grocery stores don't carry them. I looked at a chuck roast and it was just way too fatty. When I sliced up the shoulder I thought I made a mistake, because it was one lean and very very tough cut of beef. Turned out perfect. The beef was firm to the fork and tender as you could want. I used almost half a bottle of wine to deglaze the pan, so the sweetness of the carrot and onion really help offset this. I used baby portabello mushrooms, as those have a nice meaty taste. It was overall a great dish. I probably should have made a little more of the sour cream sauce because the finished product was more grey than white, but it tasted great regardless. I'll make this again. And, I've made it a point now to try every recipe you publish on this channel. You've never failed me. Thanks for the great work, keep on rocking it out.
This is very, VEEEEEERY, close to what us, Brazilians, call a strogonoff... but, off course, with a gourmet culinary twist... I F... LOVE IT!!!!! Thanks a lot, man, you give me a lot to think in terms of food every video! Bests from Brazil!!!!
That's more creamy beef bourguignon than stroganoff. Stroganoff is a bistro style dish that can be cooked from scratch, literally in 15 minutes and that's why you need filet. It's not a stew. And I disagree it's blunt, if you follow the recipe...
"Lean, marbled meat" is a pretty strange description. It's either one or the other, right? Or it's lightly marbled. I dunno. I'm sorry to be so critical, but man, it's like "da fuc is this guy talking about?"
I agree about the slightly confusing wording, but I guess he means you don't want ribs with a big fat cap or lots of sinew that you then have to trim off, or chunks of intramuscular fat. You want meat that just has those fine veins of marbling running through it. In any case, it looks really good and I'm sure that using slightly fattier meat wouldn't completely destroy the dish, it would just make it a little less healthy.
great video loved your pot amazing meat quality in my old catering days in London uk in the 80s we always used cognac admittedly the cheap stuff but thats what we used but saying that i loved your recipe and the way you cook xxxx
You are someone who can taste the flavors in your head before you make it. The process is why you're so good. Another channel I watch based on the same criteria is Cooking In Finland. Thanks for the recipe chef!
I made this last night and it was the best recipe ever!!! I followed the directions exactly and the result was perfection!!! The sauce is to die for and the meat was tender and delicious!
I was amazed to have learned how popular this dish is in Brazil. They do it slightly different. Since they don’t have sour cream, they use creme de leite which is a type of canned heavy cream and they add a little tomato paste giving it a pinkish color. Everyone eats it down there.
We Brazilians do a simpler and faster version, with “creme de leite”(similar to light cream) or “nata”(similar to heavy cream), and no flour and no mirepoix. Also, we usually do with tender cuts, like sirloin or filet. And the color usually cames from mustard, tomato paste and/or ketchup, and the brown meat. Also, sometimes we make this dish with chicken. In Brazil, like said, we do as a fast dish, brown the meat and build the sauce with mushrooms, tomato, mustard, Worcestershire and a brandy, and cream/nata. And we serve usually with rice and “batata palha”, a kind of fried potato, but really thin, to give some crunchy texture.
Fantastic! Made per directions. Best stroganoff I've ever had. And I know what you meant about your mom's version. My mom made beef stroganoff using the Schilling dry mix packets. Hey it was the 70's! Still liked it even though her beef was always overcooked and tough pieces of sirloin.
I love this interpretation! I learned recently that the classic french cooking encyclopedia Larousse Gastronomique says Stroganov/Stroganoff is deglazed with white wine, but I can't really tell the difference. BTW your Ft. Greene cilantro/avocado sauce is one of my favorites! Congatulations on the 1M subscribers💥🎉🎊

He probably doesn’t use tomato paste which is the secret to a good beef stock.
the brown colour of beef stock comes from roasted/caramelized onion and tomato paste. So if it's done without those ingredients it's pale and clear.

@@wh9462 thank you
Great tip with the sour cream, preparing it for the heat, never thought od that, thanks! Looks delicious!
This looks amazing! I'm totally going to make something similar in the next couple days, so I'll try out some of your techniques.
Those are Chestnut mushrooms (Pholiota adiposa), which are very different from white button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus - the same species as those criminis as well as portobellos - each is just a different stage of maturity). That doesn't matter too much, just thought it might be interesting.
My one question is why didn't you put the mushrooms in along with the beef after browning? Mushrooms are remarkably good at standing up to long cooking times, and Chestnuts are even better than most other mushrooms. I wonder if you wanted to keep that earthiness separate from the body of the sauce intentionally -- the wine and beef will make that thing really deep to begin with. I think I'll try and add in the mushrooms a little earlier and report back.
I love your videos, man - keep it up and thank you!
Thanks for the mushroom info! I'd be interested to know what you thought with timing on adding mushrooms. When you say they do well standing up to longer cooking time's, do you leave the mushy's whole, totally unsliced?
@@allyfrasier6306 I added them in just after the carrots and onion, but I think it might even be better to cook them a little on their own (a little water, then oil) and them add them in along with the other veggies. The way I did it worked great! I just like that mushroominess to spread all the way throughout the sauce and it definitely did! As far as how to cut them, I just quartered some criminis and I liked that but just cut them however you'd want to see them on your plate. They'll shrink a little bit, but they'll basically retain their shape. If you want a good video to explain the whole mushroom cooking thing, this one's great!

@@meatcreap thank you! I adore that mushroom flavor all the way through too. Love mushy's so much! Thanks for the response and extra info.
@@meatcreap great video! I had no idea about the oil absorption but definitely going to try that technique next time. Thanks again!
This recipe looks amazing! I will be trying your recipe versus mine next time I make it. My was fav but different technique.
is it possible to cook the sauce for three hours on the stove and not put it in the oven? don't have an oven proved dish right now but would looove to try this
What about a slow cooker?
Sure, just cover it and cook braise it on low heat.
@@rogercollins3 agreed, just make sure to top up the liquid if it gets too low
Keep the heat low enough to simmer but not too hot. Stir occasionally so nothing sticks to the bottom and everything is evenly cooked. No issue.
@@rogercollins3 cool, thanks!
Absolutely delicious. Thanks for the tempering tip.
Simple- he said at the beginning he was going to make it the way he always wanted it, not the traditional recipe.
I felt a brotherly kinship to you as you described your relationship with Stroganoff growing up, so much room for improvement and I think you took this to the best incarnation. This looks amazing.
Gawd Dang.... that's one good plate of Stoganoff!
Good explanations, easy to follow and understand. Definitely going to make this.
Damn that looks good. I’m gonna be making this one.
JUST found this channel - and I’m addicted and have a whole new menu for months - thank you so much!!!!
Oh man, you just solved what I'm going to have for dinner. Love your channel.
(edit) review - great recipe. I followed the recipe completely with the exception of I used a chuck shoulder instead of short ribs. My local grocery stores don't carry them. I looked at a chuck roast and it was just way too fatty. When I sliced up the shoulder I thought I made a mistake, because it was one lean and very very tough cut of beef.
Turned out perfect. The beef was firm to the fork and tender as you could want. I used almost half a bottle of wine to deglaze the pan, so the sweetness of the carrot and onion really help offset this. I used baby portabello mushrooms, as those have a nice meaty taste. It was overall a great dish. I probably should have made a little more of the sour cream sauce because the finished product was more grey than white, but it tasted great regardless. I'll make this again.
And, I've made it a point now to try every recipe you publish on this channel. You've never failed me. Thanks for the great work, keep on rocking it out.
How many people would the sauce make for you think?
@@thanojon1 Easily four.
@@rogercollins3 awesome. Thank you for the reply. It's tough to gage sometimes how much the sauces will cook for.
This geazer is a legendary chef. Always cooks absolute bangers!!! Keep it up fella.
My dude skipped the Dijon mustard
RIGHT
♥️your channel! I’m learning so much …thank you
Dissing on mom? Holidays are going to be rough...
This is very, VEEEEEERY, close to what us, Brazilians, call a strogonoff... but, off course, with a gourmet culinary twist... I F... LOVE IT!!!!!
Thanks a lot, man, you give me a lot to think in terms of food every video!
Bests from Brazil!!!!
I really hate mushrooms. I know in the minority...but I seriously hate mushrooms.
same, will just make it without :)
You are one of my favorites! Keep them coming.
That's more creamy beef bourguignon than stroganoff. Stroganoff is a bistro style dish that can be cooked from scratch, literally in 15 minutes and that's why you need filet. It's not a stew. And I disagree it's blunt, if you follow the recipe...
Man, I really like tour videos! Big Shoutout from Brazil! ❤️
"Lean, marbled meat" is a pretty strange description. It's either one or the other, right? Or it's lightly marbled. I dunno. I'm sorry to be so critical, but man, it's like "da fuc is this guy talking about?"
I agree about the slightly confusing wording, but I guess he means you don't want ribs with a big fat cap or lots of sinew that you then have to trim off, or chunks of intramuscular fat. You want meat that just has those fine veins of marbling running through it. In any case, it looks really good and I'm sure that using slightly fattier meat wouldn't completely destroy the dish, it would just make it a little less healthy.
Title hits close to home--this was my all time favorite homemade comfort foods as a kid! Totally reminds me of my mama 🙏❤
great video loved your pot amazing meat quality in my old catering days in London uk in the 80s we always used cognac admittedly the cheap stuff but thats what we used but saying that i loved your recipe and the way you cook xxxx
I made this tonight, thanks for the the ideas. Your stuff is always so inspirational.
This dish is perfect. I followed the recipe to a T and wowed the family last night. Feels good, thank you sir
drool. well done. I'm glad I found this channel. Baby Portobellos were on sale so my mind gravitated to something like this!
I really like your cooking show. I like your straightforward teaching technique.
You are someone who can taste the flavors in your head before you make it. The process is why you're so good. Another channel I watch based on the same criteria is Cooking In Finland. Thanks for the recipe chef!
I made this last night and it was the best recipe ever!!! I followed the directions exactly and the result was perfection!!! The sauce is to die for and the meat was tender and delicious!
best content, informative and not too long, amazing, love it all
Great dish! Great video!
Here in sweden we use often use Falukorv instead of the beef, and its really delicious also!!
We tried making this and it was a hit! Watching again and making this tomorrow. Thank you for sharing the recipe! It was delicious
This is maybe the best thing I have ever made. Made it once last winter and made it again today. Just had my second bowl. Thank you.
Hey! Made this for a big family Easter dinner and it was a huge hit. Keep up the beautiful recipes
I use those noodles too. They are great. Good recipe! Thank you! God bless you!
I was amazed to have learned how popular this dish is in Brazil. They do it slightly different. Since they don’t have sour cream, they use creme de leite which is a type of canned heavy cream and they add a little tomato paste giving it a pinkish color. Everyone eats it down there.
What about the little thin batata fritters the very slim potatoe crisps or chips if your a yank normally chicken well that’s what I kept eating lol
We Brazilians do a simpler and faster version, with “creme de leite”(similar to light cream) or “nata”(similar to heavy cream), and no flour and no mirepoix. Also, we usually do with tender cuts, like sirloin or filet. And the color usually cames from mustard, tomato paste and/or ketchup, and the brown meat. Also, sometimes we make this dish with chicken.
In Brazil, like said, we do as a fast dish, brown the meat and build the sauce with mushrooms, tomato, mustard, Worcestershire and a brandy, and cream/nata. And we serve usually with rice and “batata palha”, a kind of fried potato, but really thin, to give some crunchy texture.
Thank you for showing his dish.
Fantastic! Made per directions. Best stroganoff I've ever had. And I know what you meant about your mom's version. My mom made beef stroganoff using the Schilling dry mix packets. Hey it was the 70's! Still liked it even though her beef was always overcooked and tough pieces of sirloin.
Love my victorinox chef knife. Great to see I'm in good company! Cheers!
I love this interpretation! I learned recently that the classic french cooking encyclopedia Larousse Gastronomique says Stroganov/Stroganoff is deglazed with white wine, but I can't really tell the difference. BTW your Ft. Greene cilantro/avocado sauce is one of my favorites! Congatulations on the 1M subscribers💥🎉🎊
