Worthy of a Special Occasion

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: about 2/3 cup beef mixture and 2/3 cup noodles)

Ingredients

  • 1  pound  boneless sirloin steak, trimmed
  • Cooking spray
  • 3  cups  sliced cremini mushrooms (about 8 ounces)
  • 1/2  cup  chopped onion
  • 1  tablespoon  butter
  • 2  tablespoons  all-purpose flour
  • 1  cup  fat-free, less-sodium beef broth
  • 1/4  cup  dry sherry
  • 1/2  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/8  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
  • 3/4  cup  reduced-fat sour cream
  • 4  cups  hot cooked egg noodles (8 ounces uncooked)
  • 3  tablespoons  minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • Fresh parsley sprigs (optional)

Preparation

Cut beef diagonally across the grain into 1/4-inch-wide strips; cut the strips into 2-inch pieces.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add beef to pan; sauté 2 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove beef from pan; place in a medium bowl, and keep warm. Add cremini mushrooms and onion to pan; sauté 4 minutes. Add cremini mushroom mixture to beef.

Melt butter in pan over medium heat. Add flour. Cook 1 minute, stirring with a whisk. Gradually add broth, stirring constantly. Cook 1 minute or until thickened and bubbly, stirring constantly.

Add beef mixture, sherry, salt, and pepper to pan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 4 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand 30 seconds. Stir in sour cream.

Combine noodles and minced parsley. Serve beef mixture over noodles. Garnish with parsley sprigs, if desired.

For the most part I think the recipe has good flavor. The only problem I had was that the meat was a little tough if you follow the recipe exactly. It just doesn't have enough time to get tender so I changed the order of the steps so the meat cooked in the beef broth longer. It added about 30 minutes to the process but it solved the problem.01/05/10

This was my first time ever having beef stroganoff. I can't tell if I just don't like beef stroganoff or if I didn't like the recipe. I am 100% sure I don't like this recipe, and 90% sure I don't like beef stroganoff. The sour cream is just really pungent and I did not like the cream-based sauce that emerged when the sour cream was added.12/22/09
