Beef Stroganoff

Serve over rice or pasta for a restaurant-quality weeknight dinner with minimal washing up.
About this recipe
Beef Stroganoff Thermomix TM7 brings the legendary Russian bistro classic straight to your kitchen as a quick weeknight dinner. Searching for an easy beef stroganoff recipe with your all-in-one kitchen machine? This version delivers melt-in-the-mouth sirloin in a silky sauce built on onions, garlic, tomato paste, Dijon mustard and a splash of wine, with a surprising secret: kiwi acts as a natural tenderiser for the beef. The TM7 simmers the sauce slowly at precise low temperature, the same gentle technique the manual recommends for developing deep, layered flavours without scorching the cream. Every step happens in one mixing bowl: chopping, weighing, thickening with flour and finally heating to serving warmth. Ideal for family dinners, date nights or meal prep, this stroganoff pairs beautifully with rice, tagliatelle or crusty bread, and cleanup takes barely a minute.
Preparation tips
- Cut the sirloin against the grain into even strips so every piece stays tender; massaging the kiwi puree briefly into the beef before cooking breaks down the fibres naturally without any chemical tenderiser.
- Add the cream only towards the end of cooking and keep the sauce below boiling afterwards, otherwise it can split; stirring the flour into the butter first creates a smooth, lump-free base for the wine and stock.
- Swap the wine for extra beef stock paste dissolved in water for an alcohol-free version, and let children build their own bowl with rice or pasta so this classic suits the whole family.
- This dish reheats gently the next day: warm it slowly in the mixing bowl on low heat setting and loosen the sauce with a splash of stock before serving.
Recipe variations
- Make it gluten-free by replacing the all purpose flour with cornflour dissolved in a little cold stock, keeping the same silky thickness for the Dijon and wine sauce without any wheat.
- For a festive mushroom version, add sliced chestnut mushrooms browned in the butter with the onions, and finish with a dash of brandy instead of wine for a richer, dinner-party stroganoff.
