Beef Stroganoff

This is just my version of the recipe but I like it, so you might too. Apart from having to be a little more careful about cooking the meat, this works exactly the same with pork. I like stroganoff with a mixture of wild and long grain rice, but you can also serve it with pasta or potatoes. If you've got a bottle of brandy or whisky then chuck a shot in, then either cook off the alcohol, or burn it off if you're badass and want to feel like a brilliant chef. Seves 4
