Ok we went ahead and made some to night and I do a little different then the recipe. I like to put in a little can of green chiles and I also like to make it with out mushroom soup. But tonight I didn't have any fresh mushrooms so I wasn't able to do that. I do add some milk or half and half to mine to thin it out. Here are some pics of the product. It was great and definitely one of the family favs. Oh I also cover and simer a little to tenderize the meat.
browned sliced up beef chuck roast and sweated onions
finished and on a bed of noodles

*** Prior to adorning on bed of egg noodles, or sauce-ing; the one in the black skillet: 
is prepared with veal, however, we prefer the beef shown in the blue and white ceramic ware and use the Tri Tip Roast equivalent here in Spain.
 
Ciao Jerod,
 
Your Beef Stroganoff looks very lovely. Thanks for posting your contribution.
 
I prepare our´s with wild mushrooms as they shall be in season in October, White Vermouth, sliced shallot, beef stock & Hungarian Paprika to give it the deep brick red tone, and crème fraîche or heavy cream, as it is  hard to purchase sour cream here in the Mediterranean.
 
Ciao,
Marge.

Wow! There's a dish I haven't made in quite a while. I definitely think I'll have to remedy that soon.

AK1, Good Morning,
 
Which beef cut do you prepare your´s with ?
 
Are there any additions to your recipe and / or subs ?
 
I use White Vermouth, crème fraîche ( sour cream hard to obtain in Mediterranean ) or cream and  shallots and Paprika of course. Mushrooms: I prefer the forest types, such as Boletus Eduli or Black Trumphets verses white mushroom domestic variety or chanterelles.  
 
Have great day,
M.C.

I'm making this for dinner tonight. My son requested it.

In doing some research to try and make the most authentic version, I've discovered that there really is no "authentic" version. Here's some info;

The recipe has its origin from Russia.Despite the name "stroganoff" associated to Count Paul Stroganoff, a 19th century Russian diplomat, the origins of the dish have never been confirmed.

This original recipe had beef, mushrooms and sour cream.

Elena Molokhovets' classic Russian cookbook (1861) gives the first known recipe for Govjadina po-strogonovski, s gorchitseju "Beef Stroganov with mustard" which involves lightly floured beef cubes (not strips) sautéed, sauced with prepared mustard and bouillon (a broth. This name comes from the verb bouillir, meaning to boil), and finished with a small amount of sour cream and no onion

An excerpt from The Cuisine of Hungary, George Lang [Atheneum:New York] 1982 (p. 272) indicates that this dish dates quite back into the history-

"One of the most interesting versions of tokany is the ancient dish of sour cream vetrece (savanyu vetrece), which was already mentioned as a part of the dinners of King Matthias in the fifteenth century. In this type of ragout, beef is cooked with smoked bacon, garlic and black pepper; later bay leaves, mustard, lemon juice, vinegar, sugar and grated lemon rind are added, and finally sour cream. The only flavors lost over the centuries are mace, ginger and saffron. In the dining rooms of the Transylvanian gentry, paper-thin slices of peeled lemon were served on top of this more sweet than sour dish and does not specify a starch accompaniment."

A 1912 recipe adds onions and tomato paste tomato paste and serves it with crisp potato.Tomato paste is a thick paste made from ripened tomatoes with skin and seeds removed. Depending on its manufacturing conditions, it can be used to make either ketchup or reconstituted tomato juice. 

With substantial variation in the ways of cooking and taste this Beef Stroganoff recipe has evolved into different versions and is thus much popular in its different forms in Europe, Australia, North America, South Africa and Brazil.

It is popular in Portugal and Brazil under the name "estrogonofe" or "Strogonoff.

Stroganoff is also popular in Sweden and Norway. In Sweden, a common variant is sausage stroganoff, which uses the domestic product Falukorv(a traditional Sweden sausage.) as a substitute for the beef. Beef stroganoff is however also a common dish.
