Beef Stroganog

Beef StrogaNog

Can you guys believe that tomorrow is December??? It’s time to crack out the Egg Nog! But what if say, you happen to spill some egg nog into the frying pan while cooking some delicious meat? Not to worry! Just make this stroganog to save the day.

It’s pretty important in this dish to really get some nice browning on the meat. It adds a lot to the final flavor of the sauce. I used a cast iron to really help with that. After the meat, onion, and mushroom is brown, add in some bourbon.

Then the butter and nog!


Finally, some cinnamon and nutmeg to go with the nog flavors.

The nog added a sweetness to the meat that is not normally present in stroganoff.

Try this dish for an unexpected holiday twist on a family classic.

  1. You forgot to mention to deglaze the pan with a splash of sherry or cognac or something else before adding the egg nog and everything back in.
    Either way, this meal was awesome, and I don’t normally like mushrooms or egg nog. Happy December, everyone.
