Beef stroganoff

Method

1. Heat the oil in a frying pan and gently fry the onions over a low heat for 15 minutes until soft and golden. Remove and set aside.
2. Turn up the heat to high, then add the steak to the pan. Cook for 1 minute to sear all over, then add the paprika. Fry for a further 30 seconds to 1 minute.
3. Return the onion to the frying pan, add the brandy and cook until the alcohol has mostly evaporated. Stir in the soured cream to make a smooth sauce. Add a splash of water if you need to thin the sauce a little. Taste, season, then serve.
