This beef is similar to the beef bourguignon but in a cream sauce.
Ingredients:
- 50 ml oil
- 2 kg beef either in cubes or cut in stripes

- Salt and pepper
- 2 cans of beef consommé
- 1000 ml sour cream
- Corn starch diluted in a bit of water if required
Method:
- In a large pot (cast iron is better if you have one), heat the oil and sauté the beef in small quantity so your pot stays hot. Reserve the cooked beef.
- Add the rest of the oil and sauté the onions and garlic for 4-5 minutes
- Add the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes
- Deglaze with the brandy
- Add the beef back to the pot with salt and pepper to taste
