Menu

Beef Stroganoff, Dilled Whole Green Beans, Simple & Light Garden Salad w/ Dressing, Banana Cake

Recipes

Beef Stroganoff

Serving Size: 6

Amount Measure Ingredient / Preparation Method
2 Pounds Pepper steak (cut into 2-inch strips)
1/3 Cup Flour
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Tablespoon Flour
1 Large Onion (chopped)
2 Cups Canned beef broth
2 Cups Mushrooms (sliced)
6 Ounces Sour cream (parve)
2/3 Package Wheat egg noodles (or egg noodles or brown rice)

Combine flour, salt, and beef in a large zip-top plastic bag. Shake to coat beef with flour mixture. Set up pot with water to boil to cook the noodles (or rice)

Melt margarine in Dutch oven or skillet. Add onion to pan; saute' 2 minutes or until tender.

Add beef and flour mixture to pan; saute; until beef is browned, turning every once in a while. This step will move quickly if you're cooking in a cast iron skillet or Dutch oven.

Gradually add broth, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Add mushrooms; cover and cook on low-medium heat (simmering), 10-30 minutes, until meat and mushrooms are tender. Why the wide range in time? Because depending on the cut of meat, it can take as little as 10 minutes, and as long as 30 minutes, to achieve the end result you want - tender meat. Meanwhile cook the noodles or rice.

Lower the heat to low. Gradually stir in parve sour cream. Cook, uncovered, 1 minute or until heated. Important - DO NOT BOIL! It also works just to turn the pan off before putting in the sour cream, because the residual heat does the trick.

NOTES: Bring to Temple in oven proof disposable container covered tightly in foil and marked with name of dish and the date.
