Sunday Supper: Beef Stroganoff

Posted by Adam Kuban, February 23, 2008

Each Saturday evening we bring you a Sunday Supper recipe. Why on Saturday? So you have time to shop and prepare for tomorrow.

While I was talking to my mom on a visit home recently, she reminded me that I used to call beef stroganoff "beef goofy."

"Why?" I asked. She had no idea. I don't know either, but that crazy name conjures up all sorts of comfort food memories for me and is one of my favorite meals to wind down the weekend with.

When I was a kid, our family used to make the sauce from a package, but when I started cooking for myself, I found it wasn't that much harder to do it from scratch. In fact, the hardest part for me is getting the timing down on the egg noodles that I serve and eat the stroganoff over. I usually prepare the noods ahead of time, like my mom did, and let them sit in the colander in the sink until the sauce is ready to serve. If you're a little slow with the sauce-makin', just give the noodles a quick heat for a half a minute or so in the nuker.
