How To Make Jamie Oliver 15 Minute Meal Beef Stroganoff

1. Cook The Rice: Add rice, boiling water, thyme, salt, and pepper to a pan. Cover with a lid and stir occasionally.
2. Make The Pickle: Thinly slice onions and gherkins. Mix with parsley, a splash of gherkin vinegar, and salt. Scrunch well.
3. Cook The Mushrooms: Tear or slice mushrooms, fry with olive oil and crushed garlic. Stir in two-thirds of the pickle.
4. Prepare The Steak: Slice steak into 1cm strips. Toss with salt, pepper, paprika, and lemon zest.
5. Sear The Steak: Cook steak in a single layer until golden. Remove mushrooms first if needed.
6. Flambé The Brandy: Add brandy to steak, carefully light, and let flames subside.
7. Finish The Sauce: Return mushrooms to the pan, stir in yoghurt and milk, and bring to a boil.
8. Serve: Wilt spinach in the rice pan. Plate spinach, fluff rice on top, spoon over stroganoff, and top with remaining pickle.

Recipe Tips

• Can I skip the brandy? Yes, you can omit it or use a splash of stock instead.
• Is it necessary to flambé? No, it adds flavor but can be skipped for safety.
• Can I use chicken instead of steak? Yes, chicken breast or thighs also work well.
• How do I keep yoghurt from curdling? Add it off heat or after boiling has subsided.
• What mushrooms are best? Use a mix—button, chestnut, or wild mushrooms for depth.
