Best mushroom-free beef stroganoff recipe?

My husband has been craving beef stroganoff lately, but he hates mushrooms and I won't let him make the Hamburger Helper kind. Anyone know a good, full-fat, mushroom-free version I could try? Thanks!

If you won't let him make the version made with overcooked hamburger and cream of mushroom soup, there is a place saved for you in Heaven. That crap had me thinking that I hated beef stroganoff until I tried making it from scratch.

You can eliminate the mushrooms easily (so long as you don't use the aforementioned cream of mushroom soup in the recipe). I prefer to slow-cook the beef with some onion until it's mostly falling apart, then add the sour cream until it's a sauce and simmer down a bit. Serve over egg noodles.

If you don't want to slow-cook, make sure you're using tender beef and cut into thin strips. Also, brown the onions before adding the beef.

What beef cuts do you recommend for slow cooking this stuff?

Most recipes I've found (Rachael Ray's, Mark Bittman's, even Better Homes and Gardens) say to use tenderloin strips. Tenderloin is tender but it lacks flavor, and I really don't care if dinner gets on the table in 30 minutes or less--I am willing to take time on this one.

Try a chuck roast. You're going to end up with shreds of beef, so it's not going to be tough. It will take a long time to cook (your goal is to get to where you can pull it apart with a fork). The easiest method I know is in the oven on low heat, in a casserole with a lid.

Finally got to make this today..used a rump roast because it was cheaper and the result was delicious.

Thanks!

Thanks for the extremely ironic shroom!

(Won't Let Him? Why all the control issues about hamburger helper?

It makes your hamburger help you make a great meal, after all... )

omit the shrooms (from the recipe, not Qland):

Gosh, Griffin, the original Stroganoff didn't even include mushrooms, so there should be quite a few recipes out there for you. Here's Rachael Ray's sans champignons:

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/rachael-ray/beef-stroganoff-recipe/index.html.

And here's Wikipedia's history of the dish:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beef_stroganoff.

I generally don't promote the eating of beef (although I remember how good Beef Stroganoff was), but knowing that people will consume it regardless of what I have to say, I resign myself to conclude with this:

Good luck and happy eating.
