Goldie Hawn is one of the most recognisable faces in Hollywood, and she also happens to be the matriarch of an incredible acting family. Wife to Kurt Russell and mother to Kate Hudson, Goldie’s talents extend beyond the screen into the world of cooking.
Back in 2017, Kate praised her mum’s penchant for cooking in her book ‘Pretty Fun: Creating and Celebrating a Lifetime of Tradition’, revealing that Goldie has a particular talent for taking whatever’s in the fridge and creating something delicious. The actress has a particular recipe that her mother has “perfected”: a hearty beef stroganoff. This dish is a staple in the Hawn-Russell-Hudson household.
“My mom—or Gogo as the boys call her—perfected this recipe, and it’s now a classic in our family,” Hudson wrote. “It’s all about using the best quality sirloin and good, fresh mushrooms, and seasoning simply with just salt and pepper.”
To add a little bit of heat when making it, Kate adds some hot paprika, which makes it more Hungarian rather than a traditional Russian dish.
The full recipe can be found in Kate’s 2017, but Parade shared a rundown of how you can recreate Goldie’s original recipe for yourself.
Start by sautéing onions and garlic in butter until translucent, then add seasoned steak and cook until browned. Stir in mushrooms and beef stock, letting everything simmer until the mushrooms are tender.
In another small pan, bring some more beef stock to a simmer and whisk in some almond flour. Cook for a minute or two to remove the raw flour.
Stir the almond flour mixture into the pan with the beef and let it bubble away for a couple of minutes for the sauce to thicken. Remove the pan from the heat, mix in sour cream and paprika and adjust the seasonings to taste.
Then serve the stroganoff over egg noodles. There you have it, you can eating like acting royalty at any time.
