Dallas was teasing because the only kinds of beef stroganoff I’d had were the Hamburger Helper kind when I was a kid and the Healthy Choice entree as an adult. So, I decided to make this beef stroganoff with sirloin steak. It tasted even better the second day.
Beef Stroganoff
From Cooking Light
This classic Russian dish is easy to make; use frozen chopped onions and presliced mushrooms to speed preparation. To maintain a creamy consistency, be careful not to bring the sauce to a boil once you stir in the sour cream mixture. Serve with rice if you need a substitute for egg noodles.
1 (8-ounce) carton reduced-fat sour cream
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds boneless sirloin steak, cut into (2-inch) strips
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 (14-ounce) can beef broth
2 cups sliced mushrooms
Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
8 cups cooked medium egg noodles (about 7 cups uncooked pasta)
Combine the first 3 ingredients in a bowl. Set aside.
Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add beef; seal and shake to coat beef with flour mixture.
Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion to pan; sauté 2 minutes or until tender. Add beef and flour mixture to pan; sauté 3 minutes or until beef is browned. Gradually add broth, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Add mushrooms; cover and cook 5 minutes or until mushrooms are tender. Reduce heat to low; gradually stir in sour cream mixture. Cook, uncovered, 1 minute or until heated (do not boil). Stir in parsley, if desired. Serve over the egg noodles.
Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 3/4 cup beef mixture and 1 cup noodles)

NO.
WAY.
My jaw dropped when I saw this post because I just cooked my first beef stroganoff of my life last night too!! I had read a short story by Alice Munro (in her book “Runaway”, hugely recommended) and a character meets a man from Eastern Europe who prepares the dish for her one night. Instant craving.
i actually made it earlier in the week but didnt make the post til today. still.. what a coincidence!
Looks great!
And you’re not alone in the Hamburger Helper thing . . . I’ve only had that one, too. ;o)
I have a bad habit of reading blogs late at night. I really need to switch to reading your blog in the morning or afternoon, Quarter after 3 is a bad time to be looking at food like that! You can be assured that tomorrow night I’ll be trying that recipe (minus the mushrooms!)
yep, you’re right, I’ve never made it from scratch.
hey, lloks like you’re having a lot of fun cooking, how’s the job search going?
i just had a dream about my mom’s chili last night, which is one of several things (her chicken noodle as well) that gets better on day two or three. why is that? what’s the deal with that??
anyone? cooks in the house?
