Beef Stroganoff

When I was younger I always loved when my mom would make us beef stroganoff! She uses the McCormick packets and ground beef which never ceases to impress. Today though I when I had a serious craving for it, but no ground beef or packet, I used what I had on hand. And this dish did not disappoint! You’ll need the following items. 

Ingredients:

• Thin sliced beef (1 lbs cardne asada)

• Baking soda*

• Olive oil 1 TB

• 1/2 onion Thin sliced

• 2 cloves garlic minced 

• Worcestershire sauce 3 TB

• Beef bullion powder 2 TB 

• Salt 

• Pepper

• Onion powder 

• Garlic powder 

• Dried oregano 

• Dried parsley 

• Butter 1/2 stick 

• Fresh chopped chives 2 TB

• Flour 2 TB

• Heavy cream 3/4 cup

• Sour cream 1/3 cup

• Rotini or Egg noodles 

Directions:

• Prepare noodles of choice according to package directions, strain and set aside
• Sprinkle baking soda evenly on both sides of meat, let sit for 10 minutes then rinse off (this process is a great way to tenderize your meat)
• Cut meat into even strips and place in skillet with olive oil, sliced onion, minced garlic, seasonings and dried herbs to taste (as much or little as you prefer) 

• Sauté on medium low heat for about 10 minutes then cover with a lid for about 10 more minutes. You don’t want to over cook your meat but you also want your onions to become translucent and tender 
• Remove cooked meat an onions from pan and set aside

• Next add butter and chives to skillet on low heat, once it melts down add 1 TB flour, whisk and repeat with the other TB of flour. 
  

• Continue whisking butter and flour while slowly pouring in heavy cream. Do so until your sauce mixture is well combined and has a thicker consistency as shown above.

• Now add in noodles and meat to your sauce, stir and serve!
