Add the grated Garlic and fry for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add the marinated stroganoff and fry for 1-2 minutes, shifting occasionally, until browned. Add in the tomato paste, the chipotle in adobo and the diluted stock. Mix until fully combined and leave to simmer for 8-10 minutes until slightly reduced and thickened. On completion, remove from the heat, remove the beef and onions from the sauce and set aside. Place the remaining sauce in a bowl and set aside.
