Tropical Beef Stroganoff
Beef Stroganoff is a well-known dish the world over. Although it may have originated in Russia, its many incarnations is considered a staple in many countries. It’s relatively easy to prepare, especially with the use of dry mixes available in groceries. However, nothing beats making the sauce from scratch. The sauce below has some seaside tropical vibe with the addition of pineapple juice and oyster sauce. This dish is best enjoyed over rice or fettucine noodles.
- 1/2 kilo beef tenderloin, cut into 1 in. strips
- 1/2 cup oyster sauce
- 1/2 pineapple juice
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
- 6 tbsp butter
- 2 cups onions, sliced
- 1 1/2 cups mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 cup sour cream
- Combine beef, oyster sauce, pineapple juice, sugar and cornstarch. Marinate beef for about an hour.
- When done marinating, heat oil in a pan and saute the beef until lightly cooked.
- In a separate pan, saute onions and mushrooms in butter for about 2 minutes. Add tomato paste and let simmer for a minute.
- Add the beef (including the sauce) and continue cooking for around half a minute. Stir in sour cream and let it simmer for about 2 minutes. Enjoy!

This sounds absolutely hideous.
Please people, resist the urge to make a tropical beef stroganoff!
Whats wrong with an ordinary, normal beef stoganoff?
To ‘Michelle’: Why not spice up chocolate with some raw onion and sage leaves? Or how about corn flakes with clove oil and fresh mint?
