Beef Stroganoff on Pasta

     Beef stroganoff according to Wikipedia is a Russian dish of sauteed pieces of beef served in a smetana or sour cream. A lot of countries have adopted the dish and put their own modifications to it.  This dish is very simple and so easy to prepare. It's one of the quick meals I prepare in the Knight kitchen. We usually serve it on pasta or rice.  The dish below was made very simple and quick for my family's Saturday lunch.  Here's my simple recipe:

Ingredients:

700 g of steak (fillet or rump) cut into long strips

250 g of sour cream

1 medium size onion

200 g button  mushrooms chopped

1 tbsp minced garlic

3 tbsp soy sauce

3 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tsp pepper

1 small capsicum cut into thin strips

1 beef stock cubes (optional)

a pinch of salt

approximately a dozen of basil leaves (shredded)

400 g of fettuccine or spaghetti pasta

1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese

Method:

1. Heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a sauce pan.

2. Sautee the garlic and onions for 2 minutes.

3. Add the beef strips, then add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt and stock cubes and stir them well.

4. Cover the sauce pan with a lid and let it simmer for 5 minutes until the beef is almost tender.

5. Reduce the heat and add the sour cream and  mushrooms, and cook for about 3 minutes.

6. Add the capsicum and cook for 3 minutes.

7. Stir some basil into it.

8. Meanwhile, cook some pasta by following the instructions in the pasta packet. Drain and serve with the stroganoff.

9. Sprinkle with some cheese and parsley on top.
