Something Old: Beef Stroganoff

Hello food friends! Welcome to Monday!

It might not be fall yet, as it was when I posted this recipe last year, but it doesn't make the recipe any less delicious.

In fact, just looking at pictures of the stroganoff makes me crave it, even though Chase and I have yummy meatball subs planned for tonight. It's just a great dish. Impressive, simple, and perfect leftovers.

Happy cooking!

Beef Stroganoff November 3, 2009

This entrée for two is a great way to start off fall. Warm, hearty, and lots of taste.

Chase and I made this recipe just last weekend. Chase found it in his Betty Crocker Recipes for Two book. Despite the book’s crumbly appearance, it has some great simple recipes to share.

In a delicious mistake, I bought steak cut in cubes instead of cubed beef steaks (the things you use for chicken-fried steak). About the same cost, and undoubtedly tastier, it was a great mispurchase!

Ingredients

1 pound steak or stewing beef, cubed (or 2 cubed steaks)

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

1 can (4 oz) mushrooms

¼ cup sour cream

2 Tbsp flour

½ tsp salt

3 Tbsp veggie oil

1-2 Tbsp pickle relish (optional)

Rice, cooked according to box directions

Directions

1. In a large skillet, cook the onion in 1 Tbsp oil until tender (about 4 minutes). Remove from skillet and set aside.

2. Meanwhile, cook the rice in a separate pot according to package directions.

3. In the same skillet as the onions cooked, heat 2 Tbsp oil to medium high. Coat the meat with flour, then cook in skillet until done to at least medium-well.

4. When steak is done cooking, remove from skillet to a separate plate. Sprinkle with salt.

5. Drain extra fat from the skillet, but do not scrape clean.

6. Add onion, sour cream, mushrooms with liquid, pickle relish (I hate pickles and left this out, but Chase added it and loved it) into the skillet.

7. Warm through over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

8. Serve the steak and sauce over rice. Enjoy.

Crumbly cookbook.

So many good flavors together.

Awaiting the delicious sauce.

Happy cooking!
