Where’s my carrot?

Okay, I tried making Beef Stroganoff for dinner, but I failed. I found a recipe, followed it to a T, but it didn’t look nor taste like the Beef Stroganoff I eat in my favorite restaurant. I need help.

Mind you, what I came up with, though not accurately Beef Stroganoff, was not only edible but was also delicious. (I still have some left0ver, if you want to taste it.) Look at this picture and tell me if this looks like Beef Stroganoff to you.
