Method

1. Cook the rice according to packet instructions, leaving out any salt.
2. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and cook the onions and dried herbs for 5 minutes until the onions are soft.
3. Add the mushrooms, garlic and black pepper and fry gently for a further 3 to 4 minutes before removing from the pan and setting aside.
4. Add the beef and paprika to the pan and fry until the beef is browned.
5. Turn the heat down to low, return the vegetables to the pan and gently stir in the crème fraiche. Cook gently for 5 minutes stirring occasionally.
6. As your stroganoff cooks, boil or microwave the green beans. Boiling will take 6 to 8 minutes, microwaving will take 2 to 3 minutes depending on the power of your microwave.
7. When the rice is cooked, drain and serve with the creamy Stroganoff and beans.
