How to Make Aunt Eva's Swedish Stroganoff

  1. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, brown 1.5 lbs of beef stew meat over medium-high heat. Remove beef and set aside.
  2. Add 1 large onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of beef broth (or homemade glace de viande) and 1 cup sour cream.
  5. Return the beef to the skillet. Add 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp paprika, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (optional).
  6. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 2 hours, or until the beef is very tender. Stir occasionally.
  7. Stir in 1 cup of sliced mushrooms (cremini or button) and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
  8. Serve hot over egg noodles or mashed potatoes.
