Why I Love This Recipe

I found the original recipe for this dish in an old cookbook while shopping in a book store, in the late '60s. I tried this out and served it to my girlfriend, who found it really delicious. I made it once or twice after that before we broke up.

When I got married in 1979, my wife asked me to cook something she had never tried. The beef stroganoff I cooked 10+ years previously came to mind. Using memory, as well a change in type of beef used, I cooked it up for her. She really enjoyed it. While the kids were growing up, I made this for them over the Christmas school break, and have made it during Christmas holidays ever since.

My children have tried to copy this, but always come back to say Dad's cooking is still the best. I believe that this dish is made with love and now my grandchildren are learning to love this dish, as well.
