Nemanja Babic, chef de cuisine at Apron Restaurant & Bar in Brisbane, shares the delicious details of their signature dish
The Dish: Beef Stroganoff
“We take a fresh and modern approach to crafting beef stroganoff, and our secret lies in the blend of locally sourced ingredients and contemporary cooking techniques. This cherished dish, a local favourite, showcases the passion of our kitchen team as they create a flavourful masterpiece. Our hand-crafted pasta, cooked to perfection, serves as the ideal canvas for the starring ingredient – the tender, rich Queensland Darling Downs Wagyu beef. The magic unfolds with the accompaniment of a deconstructed stroganoff sauce, ensuring every nuance and essence is savoured. To add a unique twist, we sprinkle a touch of beetroot dust to the dish, enhancing both flavour and presentation. It transports your taste buds to a realm where local bounty meets culinary innovation in a harmonious union that celebrates the very essence of dining indulgence.”
