A smoky reinterpretation of the Russian classic Boeuf Stroganoff. The beef tenderloin or rump is rubbed with an aromatic rub and hot-smoked before being finished in a creamy mushroom cream sauce. The smoky aroma gives the dish an entirely new dimension.

Instructions
Preparation and Marinating
2-4 hoursCut beef into strips, mix all spices and evenly rub the meat. Rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, then bring to room temperature.
Smoking
2-3 hoursPreheat smoker to 110-120 °C. Add alder and cherry wood chips. Distribute meat strips on the grate and smoke until a core temperature of 60-65 °C is reached.
Finishing in the Pan
10 minutesQuickly sear smoked meat strips in a hot pan. Prepare a creamy sauce with mushrooms, cream, a little mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Combine everything and serve with pasta or rice.
Pro Tip
Smoke the meat only to a core temperature of 60-65 °C so it does not overcook when subsequently seared in the pan. This keeps it tender and juicy.
