How’s this for a quick, easy and quite spectacular mid-week meal?
I’ve been dying to try beef stroganoff for ages and I wasn’t disappointed; I can see this becoming a regular in my kitchen. Not only is it very tasty, but it is so quick and just needs a little chopping, stirring and some boiling of rice. It would be a great way to feed a crowd when you’ve been at work all day and want something good, filling and effortless.
I loosely followed this recipe, but my measurements were no more accurate than: a couple of fillet steaks, a good sprinkle of paprika then another sprinkle at the end, a small tub of sour cream, a handful of button mushrooms, an onion, a squeeze of lemon juice, salt and pepper and a little flat leafed parsley. I’d imagine this is a forgiving dish – just don’t overcook the steak, it only needs a quick flash fry over a high heat.
This was something I threw together last night. I started with the chops which I'd bought at the butchers earlier, then looked in the fridge to see what I could team them with for a one-pot roast. As is often the case with this type of ‘throw it together’ cooking, you can come up with a real gem of a dish without any effort at all. The butternut squash was really good with the pork - definitely a combination I recommend - and Rob loved the melted cheese over everything.
Quantities really aren’t important here; use however much potatoes, squash and pork chops you want. Simply peel some potatoes and butternut squash, cut them into similar sizes chunks then put them into a baking tray with some pork chops. Sprinkle over a little fresh thyme, olive oil, sea salt and pepper.
Roast at 200c for about 40-45 minutes, turning the chops and vegetables half way through. Once everything is cooked through, sprinkle some mature cheddar cheese over the pork and vegetables and pop the tray back in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese melts.
