Beef Stroganoff

Ish. There is nothing traditional about this Beef Stroganoff so I struggled with what to call it. There are onions, mushrooms, garlic, paprika and tomato puree, none of which are traditional. It does have seared steak, brandy and sour cream so on that basis, I’m sticking with Beef Stroganoff.
