Just made this (without using a microwave) and it's frikkin good. :)

This easy recipe for the classic beef and mushroom dish saves time and money. For an even cheaper version, use pork loin.

Serves 4
Ready in 20 minutes

Ingredients

* 225g long grain rice
* 500g quick-frying beef steaks, cut into thin strips
* 1 tsp mixed peppercorns, crushed
* 1 tbsp olive oil
* 1 onion, finely sliced
* 150g closed cup mushrooms, wiped and halved
* 284ml carton soured cream
* 2 tsp paprika

Method: How to make cheat's beef stroganoff

1. Cook the rice according to packet instructions. Meanwhile, put the beef strips into a shallow dish, add the crushed peppercorns and toss to coat. Set aside.

2. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat and cook the sliced onion for 3-4 minutes or until soft but not coloured.

3. Add the mushrooms and cook for a further 5 minutes. Increase the heat, add the beef strips and fry for 4-5 minutes or until the juices have evaporated and the meat is brown. Add 3 tablespoons water and bubble to deglaze the pan.

4. Stir in most of the soured cream and half the paprika, and gently heat until warmed through. Check the seasoning.

5. Spoon the beef stroganoff onto plates. Top with the remaining soured cream. Season with the remaining paprika and black pepper and serve with the rice.

the temptation was too much for me i had to make cheese and tomato on toast for supper.
 
It's missing the white wine.

Also you must use at least some mushrooms and chop them finely if you don't like them. Mushrooms are a natural source of MSG which brings the flavours of the dish out and beef strog can be a bit bland without them.

:wtf: :eek: Damn I hope that is not true. I do my best to avoid msg.

EDIT: Closest mention of this I can find is "There are natural glutamates in mushrooms, not MSG"

What exactly do they mean by this? Esp the "closed" part is confusing to me.

MSG is mono sodium glutamate.

MSG also has a bad rap. Very few people are allergic to it and in low to moderate doses (ie. mushrooms and sea weed.) there is no evidence to suggest it is even remotely harmful. The fact that people who complain about a sensitivity to it happily eat mushrooms is proof of this.
