30 minutes
Egg noodles with beef in beer a la Stroganoff is an original variation of the classic dish that appeared in Russia in the 19th century. Here, tender pieces of beef are simmered in a rich beer sauce enriched with sour cream and spices. Dark beer adds depth of flavor, making the meat especially tender and aromatic, while paprika gives a slight spiciness. Oyster mushrooms and sweet peppers complement the composition with their earthy and fresh notes, while pickled cucumber refreshes and balances the taste. Serving on nests of egg noodles makes the dish not only convenient to eat but also aesthetically pleasing. It’s a great treat for a cozy family dinner or dinner with friends that combines the richness of Russian cuisine with the sophistication of European sauces.
