Beef Stroganoff

BEEF STROGANOFF

This is a hearty meal and not very expensive. It’s good in the winter when you need something to warm you after a long day of outdoor activity.

2 pounds round steak, cut in 1 x 3 inch strips
1 cup chopped mushrooms
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, minced
1/3 cup flour*
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper

¼ cup olive or coconut oil
1 ½ cups beef broth - you could make this from bouillon.
2 cups sour cream

Noodles, rice, potatoes, or other vegetables to serve as a base.

*If you want to keep this gluten or wheat free, use another thickening agent, such as tapioca, coconut flour or oat flour.

Put the mushrooms, onion and garlic into a frying pan with 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Saute until onions and garlic are soft, but not too brown - about 3 minutes.

Roll each piece of round steak in flour, salt, and pepper mixture. Put remaining oil into frying pan with the onion mix, and brown the meat for about 7- 10 minutes on medium heat.

Add beef broth and 1 ½ cups water to meat mixture and simmer for about 1 hour on medium - low heat. Cook noodles after about ½ hour has gone by. When meat is thoroughly cooked, add sour cream. Stir until sour cream is completely mixed with meat and gravy. Reheat until piping hot, and serve meat and sauce over noodles, potatoes, rice or other vegetables.
