Bette’s Beef Strips in Tomato Cream Sauce
Beef Strips in Tomato Cream Sauce is a frequent request for this yummy meal. For many years I thought this is what beef stroganoff was. If someone else made beef stroganoff I would say “this isn’t how Mum makes it”. Nor did I understand why they served it with pasta. 2kg round or chuck steak 1/2 ... Read more

Day 32 – White Cliffs to Nyngan
