1 1/2 pound beef, sirloin steak
or even round steak cut into thin strips
3 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dry mustard
4 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 garlic
cloves, minced
1 cup onions red, sliced or chopped
1 1/2 cup beef stock
1 tablespoon ketchup or tomato paste
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup sour cream
chives or parsley, chopped, for
garnish, if desired
Trim excess fat from meat. Cut meat into thin strips.
Combine flour with salt, pepper, paprika, and mustard. Toss meat with
seasoned flour.
Melt ? of the butter in a large heavy skillet. Add garlic; saute until
golden. Remove; set aside.
Melt ? more butter in the same skillet. Saute the onions for 5 to 6
minutes. Remove; set aside.
Heat remaining butter in the same large skillet. Saute meat strips until
browned; add the beef stock, onions, and garlic. Stir to dissolve
browned bits in the bottom of the skillet.
Simmer, uncovered, 10 to 15 minutes, until meat is tender and the
mixture is thickened, stirring occasionally. Add tomato ketchup or
paste, Worcestershire sauce and sour cream. Heat gently. Serve over
egg noodles or rice.
Sprinkle top with chives or parsley and a healthy dose of fresh ground
black pepper, if desired.
Notes:
Always stir sour cream into a hot sauce or soup just before serving.
Heat it gently and only until the mixture is warmed through.
Allowing the mixture to boil may cause curdling. Milk products won't
separate as easily in flour-based mixtures.
This dish comes together rather quickly, and is so good! Beef strips
simmered in a richly flavored sauce.
Serve it with rice or warm, crusty French bread to take advantage of
the super yummy sauce
