I bought a huge 5 qt skillet about 2 months ago, and it is a great addition to my kitchen! It was the perfect size for tonight's stroganoff, and there was even room to spare (a/k/a room to stir the food without any spilling over the sides).
Side note : spell check wants me to change stroganoff to "strongman." strange...
One Pot Beef Stroganoff
3 cloves garlic
1 in chunk of ginger root
1/4 onion
4 carrots
2 stalks of celery
1 lb stew beef
1 can mushroom soup
1 can cream corn
1+ c marinara sauce
1/2 c heavy cream
1/2 can Guinness
egg noodles
Chop all of the chop-able ingredients. Brown the onion, garlic, and ginger in some olive oil. When they start to brown, add the beef. Let the chunks of meat start to brown, then add all remaining ingredients except for the pasta. Stir well, cover, and let cook until the meat is almost done, stirring occasionally. When the meat is almost done, add the pasta and cook until done.
This stroganoff is definitely my favorite that I have made so far, the consistency was perfect
and it was really delicious!
