Hi friends! Today, I’m excited to share a delicious and creamy dish that’s a true classic: Veal Stroganoff. It’s easy to make, full of flavour, and perfect for a cosy dinner. Let’s cook this together!

Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 500g veal (cut into thin strips)
• 1 medium onion (chopped)
• 1 cup mushrooms (sliced)
• 2 garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 cup beef stock
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

To Serve:

• Cooked rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes

Steps to Make Veal Stroganoff

1. Prepare the veal:

• Cut the veal into thin strips about 1-2 cm wide.
• Season the veal with a pinch of salt and pepper.

2. Sauté the veal:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil or butter in a large pan over medium heat.
• Add the veal strips and cook for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned.
• Remove the veal from the pan and set it aside on a plate.

3. Cook the onions and mushrooms:

• In the same pan, add the chopped onion and cook for 3 minutes until soft.
• Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes until golden brown.
• Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.

4. Make the sauce:

• Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of flour over the onions and mushrooms. Stir well to coat.
• Slowly pour in the beef stock, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
• Add the paprika and Dijon mustard (if using). Stir to combine.

5. Add the veal and sour cream:

• Return the cooked veal to the pan.
• Stir in the sour cream and mix until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
• Simmer for 5-7 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the veal is tender.

6. Taste and serve:

• Taste the sauce and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
• Garnish with fresh parsley if you like.
• Serve hot over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.

Cooking Tips

• Don’t overcook the veal; it should remain tender.
• If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or extra stock.
• For a richer flavour, use heavy cream instead of sour cream.
