It was my first time using the slow cooker.
It was my first time making Beef Stroganoff.
It was goooood…....
It was rather easy. I got the recipe from http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Slow-Cooker-Beef-Stroganoff-I/Detail.aspx.
Good thing I bought extra beef stew meat on the night that I planned to make the dish. It turned out that the piece of meat I took out that morning didn't even defrost all the way. According to my parents, for beef stew meat, it's best to boil it first for about 5 minutes and rinse in cold water. This way, all the blood and gunk will come out and it will also get rid of the bloody taste. I did just that without touching any of the pieces. (Ok, raw meat is not fun to touch) Then I added everything the recipe called for and doubled the sauce.
Then I realized Jer used the last of the 1/2 onion last year for his chicken sauce. OH NO! I called him frantically just so he could pick up an onion before he got home. He did well....the onion was so big that it could feed an entire army.
It looked kind of gloppy at first: Then I set it to start and slow cooked for 5 hours on high, and VIOLA!
Cooked the all-traditional egg noodles, spooned on the beefy goodness, sprinkled a bit of green onion for looks…..YUMMY.
Apparently this was the official first time that Jer had Beef Stroganoff. He liked it and I liked it too. I would've loved it if it wasn't a tad sweet (I couldn't figure out where the sweetness came from….the onions?) The worst part of it was the wait….6 hours including prep time was just way too long for a dish.
I have a lot of extras! Come over if you want some!
