Method
1.Place potato in a saucepan; cover with cold water. Bring to the boil; boil for 10 minutes or until tender. Drain; return to pan. Place over low heat. Add half the sour cream; mash until almost smooth. Season to taste. Stir in parsley.
2.Meanwhile, heat half the oil in a frying pan over high heat. Cook beef, in 3 batches, for 2 minutes each or until browned and just cooked. Transfer to a heatproof bowl. Heat remaining oil in same pan over high heat. Add onion; cook and stir for 3 minutes or until soft. Add paprika and mushroom; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until almost tender. Add flour and tomato paste; cook and stir for 1 minute or until bubbling.
3.Reduce heat to moderate. Gradually stir in crumbled stock cube and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer; simmer, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly. Return beef and resting juices to pan; stir until heated. Remove from heat. Stir in remaining sour cream. Serve stroganoff, sprinkled with extra parsley, with mash.
Brown beef in batches. This will ensure that the meat doesn’t become tough, and will add extra flavour and colour to the dish.
