This is a meal that takes under 30 minutes to make and leave you and your guests both happy and very full. It also very affordable and will only cost you up to $20 to serve 5 people! 

Making this dish was quick and easy. I just ensured that the rice was cooking at the same time while cooking the rest of the ingredients for the stroganoff.

- 300g Mushrooms
- 2 Onions
- 600g sour cream
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- Salt
- Cracked black pepper
- 1 cup of rice
- 1 table spoon of olive oil

Method:
1. Soak the cup of rice and drain
2. For 1 cup of rice use 2 cups of water to boil the rice until the water evaporates
3. Add a teaspoon of salt in the rice
4. While the rice is boiling on low heat, slice the onions and mushrooms
5. Cook the beef strips in a table spoon of olive oil in a hot pot till they go brown
6. Add the onions and stir until the onions are half cooked
7. Add the mushrooms, sour cream, tomato paste, salt and pepper (to taste)
8. Let it simmer for approximately 20 minutes

NOTE: If you feel that it is not saucy enough feel free to add more sour cream and tomato paste :)

Hope you guys enjoy this meal. Its a very popular Russian dish. There are many different versions or ways to make this dish but I have found this way to be the easiest, quickest way that is also very delicious!
