Nothing improves the taste of pasta more than a good appetite.
~ Italian Proverb
Ben went with me for grocery shopping two weeks ago and saw Stroganoff sauce in a bottle on the shelves. He asked that I try this out. The instruction on the bottle seems simple and does look like something that the boys would like.
Beef Stroganoff, in its simplest form, is simply tender beef with a mushroom and sour cream sauce served over noodles, or even rice. The current accepted history of this dish dates back to the 1890s when a chef working for Count Pavel Alexandrovich Stroganov, a famous Russian general, invented the recipe for a cooking competition in St. Petersburg.
I used egg white pasta to go with the Beef Stroganoff.
Ingredients
- 1 bottle (400ml) of Stroganoff cooking sauce
- 1 package (340g) of egg white pasta
- 1 lb sirloin steak
- 1 can of mushroom pieces
- cilantro for garnishing

Instructions
This is a very simple and fast meal to make — it took me just 20 minutes. I know I am going to make this more often. The guys loves this a lot. I might try this with other types of pasta, noodles and rice.
Hiya,
Popped by from blogmad. Really love ur recpies with pix and all. Makes my mouth water. I shall return for more treats :).
Growing up, Beef Stroganoff made me gag, literally. Now it is one of my favorites. We have this pretty regularly, as my wife can slow cook it in the crock pot and have it ready at dinner time. Makes the meat impossibly tender.
i’ve never heard of that proverb, or maybe i just didn’t know it was such but anyway it represents us pretty well 😉
Yum-o! Surfing BlogMad… glad I found you. You’re in my favorites 😉
Thanks Agnes. Please do visit every now and then. We try to blog something new everyday.
Slow cook it? Never thought of it. I’ll try that sometime. I like my beef tender too! Thanks for the tip.
Adding this one to my long list of your goodies!!
Thanks for the recipe…sounds really good!
It looks really good and I like the garnish that you used. The only thing I would do differently is use fresh mushrooms instead of the canned ones. They taste too salty. Great blog!
Thanks Susan. That’s a good idea. I will definitely try to use fresh mushroom the next time I make it.
The salt is to flavor the pasta that way all layers of the dish are flavored. Salted pasta water gives the pasta better flavor than adding it at the end because it soaks in rather than sit on top.
Could not find PC stroganoff sauce at the store.
