Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Trim the beef tenderloin and cut it into strips. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
-
Step 2.
Heat a frying pan with olive oil over high heat. Sear the beef strips in the hot pan until browned on all sides, then remove and set aside.
-
Step 3.
In the same pan, add a little more olive oil if needed. Add the sliced red onion and sliced wild mushrooms. Cook over medium heat until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Step 4.
Return the seared beef to the pan with the onions and mushrooms. Sprinkle a little plain flour over the mixture and stir to coat.
-
Step 5.
Pour a generous measure of brandy (or cognac) over the mixture. Carefully ignite the alcohol with a long lighter or match to flambé, allowing the flames to subside. (Exercise caution when flambéing.)
-
Step 6.
Stir in the sour cream, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and paprika. Reduce heat to low and let the mixture warm gently while you prepare the potato straws.
-
Step 7.
While the stroganoff warms, peel the potato and grate it on the large-hole side of a box grater to produce long thin strips. If desired, rub the cut side of a garlic clove over the potato strips for flavor.
-
Step 8.
Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potato strips in batches until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
-
Step 9.
Serve the beef stroganoff topped with the crispy potato straws.
