Tips
- When cooking beef strips cook the first side until the first sign of moisture appears on the uncooked side, then turn and cook the other side to complete the cooking. This way the beef strips will brown well, and the meat will be tender.
- Best beef cuts for stir-frying: Use beef stir-fry strips or prepare your own from rib eye/scotch fillet/tenderloin, sirloin/porterhouse/New York, rump, boneless blade, round, oyster blade or topside steaks.
- If beef stroganoff is causing heartburn or acid reflux pain you can try and dilute the sour cream with half and half. This makes the sauce less acidic and reduces the chances of heartburn.
