Add the tomato purée, mustard and paprika and cook for a further minute.
-
Add the beef stock and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 3–4 minutes.
-
Season the beef with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
-
Heat a separate frying pan and add the remaining butter. When foaming, add the beef and fry for 2–3 minutes on both sides, until browned all over.
-
Add the brandy and carefully allow to flambé in the pan. (CAUTION: make sure there are no flammable materials above the pan when flaming.)
-
Add the soured cream to the onion and mushroom mixture and mix well.
-
When the flames have subsided, add the beef to the soured cream and mushroom mixture and cook for one minute. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper and add the parsley.
-
For the sautéed potatoes, heat the oil in a frying pan until hot, then add the potatoes and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until tender and golden-brown all over. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper and add the onions. Stir gently to combine.
-
To serve, place two spoonfuls of the sautéed potatoes onto each plate and spoon equal portions of the beef stroganoff alongside.
