Recipe: Beef Stroganoff
We recently wrote about the Newlyns Cookery School, a family’s on-farm diversification. With a big focus on field to fork, local produce and good-quality meat, several of their courses are around beef – how to butcher it and how to cook it.
Here is their recipe for Beef Stroganoff.

- 3tbsp brandy
- 1tbsp flour
- 1tsp tomato purée
- 150ml beef stock
- 150ml sour cream or crème fraîche
- Flat-leaf parsley, to decorate
Method
- Rub the 1tbsp of oil and paprika into the beef slices and leave for five minutes.
- Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and then brown off the beef very quickly.
