From chicken to beef!
Super-Speedy Beef Stroganoff
And for my 2nd
savoury….! Firstly (and
secondly – 2 different meals here!), I’m not following the book exactly page-by-page, due to
having possibly done them before and/or just don’t fancy doing them. So, I
skipped a page. Shocking I know, to a Stroganoff instead of a creamy saucy
chicken (ooh-err chick!). Chicken followed next recipe meal chicken? No, to beef!
It seems like I have done this (meal) before due to the mark or two on the page, that serves as a good sign to I have already made it at some time. Book personalised. However, changes were of course made, notably the exchange of fillet steak for a cheaper cut, as the picture may well show.
Another “1-pot?!" So be it! It is amazing what can be done without the use of umpteen/several/many different items from your cookware (and easier, with reason, in truth). Well that’s my view on it; at the moment!
INGREDIENTS (Serves 1)
·
2 tsp
coconut oil (or whatever!)
·
2 shallots,
finely diced
·
(I added garlics and chilli too, as I do!)
·
5 chestnut
mushrooms, roughly chopped
·
300g fillet
steak, cut into 1cm pieces
·
Salt and
peppe
·
2 tsp
paprika
·
75ml beef
stock
·
125ml soured
cream
·
½ bunch of parsley,
leaves only, roughly chopped – optional
·
Juice of 1
lemon
METHOD
Melt
the coconut oil in a frying pan over a high heat. Add the shallots and
mushrooms (and chilies and garlic (add later so as to not burn; maybe)) and fry, stirring regularly, for 2-3
minutes or until the shallots have softened and the mushrooms have taken on a little
colour.
Add
the beef, along with a generous pinch of salt and pepper, and stir-fry for 1-2
minutes. Sprinkle in the smoked paprika and toss to lightly coat everything
with the spice.
Pour
in the beef stock – it will bubble up quickly – then turn the heat right down
and stir in the soured cream. Tale the pan off the heat, then add the parsley,
if using, and a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Serve and enjoy.
The chef and writer (Joe Wicks, Lean in 15) suggests serving with a big portion of
favourite greens, like kale, broccoli etc. I had some of that spinach wanting
eaten…! Bosh! Result with a few little tomatoes as shown above!
Second blog meal, somewhat different bringing in a taste of the far east, with Singapore noodles!
Coming soon as what I HAD done here... blogger didn't like!
