Strog This - Beef Stroganoff

my kids don't like mushrooms.  not at all but they really love my beef stroganoff. 

i have a confession.  i have a strong aversion to cream of mushroom soup.  and so no can comes near this recipe.  I use the real deal and if I am feeling adventurous, I use portabella ones.

so here's what you need at 1st:

1 1/2 pounds of sirloin steak, sliced thin
2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
a little bit of olive oil
a dash of kosher salt
a dash of lemon pepper

Put a little bit of olive oil in the pan (about 2 T) and put your garlic in it.  Heat the oil to medium-high heat (not too hot or you burn the garlic and that's yucky).  As your garlic begins to brown. throw in the meat, season it with a dash of kosher salt and lemon pepper and brown your meat.  Put your meat on a plate and set aside.

Now you need:

some more olive oil
1 pound of mushrooms
1/2 cup sherry cooking wine
1/4 cup water
1/2 small white onion, fine chopped

Add a bit more olive oil to the pan and saute' your mushrooms and onions in the oil for about 5 minutes.  Add 1/2 cup sherry cooking wine, 1/4 cup water and boil and reduce until there is about a 1/4 cup of liquid in the pan.  Add the meat back to the pan.

Now you need:

1/2 cup sour cream
2 T beef bouillion granules

Mix the granules in the half cup sour cream.  Pour sour cream mixture into pan and heat through until the mixture thickens - about 5 minutes.

Serve up on egg noodles ( i use the No Yolks kind) or hot rice.  Garnish with some parsley.

I also like my recipes with fresh ingredients and I haven't done beef stroganoff for some time. The mushrooms and sour cream seem to make the taste just right.
