Cooking, what's that?

So this weekend (and i guess the few ones to follow) are going to be so boring. I get sick of the puter. I would have gone for a walk but it's been a tad wet all day, not as wet as was forecast but still. Tomorrow of course we're doing dinner but bleh, especially on my Saturdays I have nothing planned. At least there's good tV Sunday, nothing worth watching on Saturdays. :(
Anyway, i haven't done much cooking for a while, (of course dinners consisting of meat and veg yes, but nothing fancy). So, I know I can also fill in sometime doing more cooking.
Thanks again to [livejournal.com profile] budget_barry and [livejournal.com profile] thecrazykiwi for this beef Strogonoff recipe:

Beef Strogonoff
Ingredients
1 tbsp vegetable oil
800g lean beef strips
1 large onion, finely sliced
1 clove garlic, crushed
400g button mushrooms, sliced
3 quarters cup salt reduced beef stock.
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp cornflour (corn starch) mixed with 2 tbsp cold water
100g low-fat natural yoghurt.
1 quarter cup roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley.


Method

Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Add beef strips in batches and cook for 5 minutes, or until browned.
Return all meat to pan.
Add onion, garlic and mushrooms and cook for 10 minutes or until vegetables are soft.
Stir in stock, Worcestershire sauce and cornflour mixture and bring to boil.
Reduce heat and simmer, covered for 10 minutes.
Stir in yoghurt and parsley and season to taist.
Serve with rice or pasta and steamed vegetables.

Maybe I should try that sometime.
I applied for a couple of jobs to make up for the past couple of days.
til Next time, RdFreak

All the best to you!

Hi, Rachel! I hope your weekend doesn't turn out to be as boring as you feared it will be. I hope the beef stroganoff recipe turns out well, and I wish you good luck with your job applications.
