I used half & half water and red wine the second time I did this. I think it really brought out the "beefyness".

Wonderful recipe! I think I sliced the steak too thick - if I had it to do over again, I'd make thinner cuts. The recipe was terrific - thank you!

Superb. I used the bacon at the start to flavour the oil for frying but preferred not to add the bacon at the end.

Really great taste and quite easy to make (just keep an eye on the water levels when cooking the beef for two hours.

This recipe had the best flavor. My oldest does not like beef stroganoff, but she really liked this. I did add some white wine to browning stage of the beef, but that was it! From the taste it would have been just as good without it. We had a nice bottle of chardonnay with it also. The smaller submitted picture is mine.

Finally--a beef stroganoff with a little interesting flare to it--from the bacon to the nutmeg--all are wonderful touches that please the palatte!

I love Stroganoff, and this recipe was good. Easy to make with ingreadients I had in the house. Except I was short on the amount of sour cream I had in the fridge. My sauce was looking pretty thick, (plus I had more than a pound of meat), so I added about 1/2 can mushroom soup and a few table spoons of milk to get to the right consistancy. Then I always add a couple splashes of white wine to my stroanoff. Thank you. It pleased my whole family.

I changed a couple things. I added 5 cloves garlic, doubled the worcestershire and cut the salt in half. I added a little Franks hot sauce at the table. With those changes I will make it again.

This was easy to make and very good. Instead of sprinkling the bacon over the finished dish, I added it with the mushrooms towards the end of the cook time. The addition of bacon imparted a subtle smokiness and made for an interesting variation of this old-time favorite.

Most recipes i have found do not let this dish simmer long enough. I like to cook until the meat is fork tender which seems to be about twice as long as others call for [I posted this recipe.]
