Beef Stroganoff with Buckwheat and Chanterelles

Beef stroganoff is a classic beef dish. This is a variant of the dish without preliminary beating meat and without tomato paste, but with the addition of cream and sour cream. Fried chanterelles and sun-dried tomatoes will be an interesting addition to the dish. Well, green onions are a welcome addition to both meat and buckwheat.
