¼ cupfiltered water
Instructions
CASHEW NUTS CREAM:
Soak the cashew nuts for approximately 6 hours. Discard the water and wash the cashews well.
Blend the cashew nuts with filtered water until it becomes a very smooth cream.
BEEF STROGANOFF:
Cut the meat into medium strips or cubes. Season the meat with salt and pepper to taste.
Heat the frying pan with a little olive oil. When the frying pan is very hot, start adding the meat, and sear the meat. When all the meat is sealed, remove it and set it aside in a bowl.(Do not add all the meat at once. Otherwise, the meat will cook and not sear.)
In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil and sauté onion and garlic for a minute, then add smoked paprika and soy sauce.
When the onion becomes translucent, add the chopped tomatoes, and let them warm up. Then add the Dijon mustard and tomato sauce. Stir it and add the green banana biomass. Let it cook for approximately 10-15 minutes until the tomato breaks down and the biomass incorporates very well and becomes a creamy sauce.Don't forget to give it a little stir from time to time so that the sauce doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. If necessary, add a little water or vegetable broth to the sauce to make it a little looser. The consistency is up to you and how you like your sauce. You can make the sauce thick or thin by adding more or less liquid.
Add the sealed meat with all the juices that have accumulated at the bottom of the bowl, and stir in well until incorporated into the sauce.
Add the mushrooms and stir them into the sauce.
Add the cashew cream and cook for 2 minutes. Adjust the salt.
Turn off the heat, and finish by adding fresh herbs of your choice. I used chives and parsley in my beef stroganoff, but you also can use cilantro, thyme, or basil.
