Directions
Toss the beef strips with two tablespoons of the flour and salt. Discard the remaining flour.


Heat ½ the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips and quickly brown until just cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes and set aside. Ideally you will develop a rich brown fond (brown bits) on the bottom of the pan.


Add the onion, garlic and mushrooms. Cook until the onions are just beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. As the liquid exudes from the mushrooms scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan (lots of flavor there).


Remove meat and mushrooms from pan and set aside.
Add 2 tablespoons of butter to pan drippings and blend in one tablespoon of flour. Mix the tomato paste with the beef stock and add to the pan.


Cook, stirring constantly over medium heat until thick and bubbly.


Return meat and mushrooms to skillet and reduce the heat.
Stir in sour cream; cook, stirring slowly until heated through. Do not boil.


Serve atop hot buttered noodles. Add a generous amount of fresh ground black pepper to taste.

almost 11 years agoThe cooking directions are confusing. "Toss the beef strips with two tablespoons of the flour and salt. Discard the remaining flour." Yet, later, it states, "Add 2 tablespoons of butter to pan drippings and blend in the remaining flour" Furthermore, on the meat: "Add the beef strips and quickly brown until just cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes and set aside...Add the onion, garlic and mushrooms. Cook until the onions are just beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. As the liquid exudes from the mushrooms scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan (lots of flavor there)." Next, I see: "Remove meat and mushrooms from pan and set aside." When, exactly, did the meat get back in the pan with the mushrooms? I am confused. This sounds like the recipe my mother used to make, and I would like to try it out, but I would like to get the steps down correctly.
over 5 years agoUse your common sense. Read the whole recipe through and the ingedient list. Adjust for conflicting directions
over 5 years agoPlease do not use canned mushrooms in this recipe. If you're too lazy to slice a few fresh mushrooms (like me), buy the fresh sliced.
over 5 years agoI agree! Fresh mushrooms are the way to go. Thanks for the comment, and happy cooking :-)
