Beef Stroganoff

This is hands-down my most-requested to Mom. When she asked me what I wanted to eat for any special occasion, this was it!

You will need:
1 lb. stew beef (you can get pre-cut meat in packs at the grocery store…it will be marked “stew” or “kebab”. I’d get between 1.5-2 lbs.)
Flour
1 medium onion
Beef boullion cubes or beef broth (2 cans)
8 oz. sour cream
Dried parsley
Dry mustard
Salt and pepper
1 package egg noodles (No Yolks for less cholesterol)

If your meat is not already pre-cut, cut into bite sized pieces.
Cut up one medium onion.
Sautee together with a small amount of oil over medium-high heat.
Add one T flour and stir. Then add one and a half cups of water. Mix.
Melt beef boullion in a small amount of boiling water (in microwave). Or just open up cans of beef broth. Add to mixture.
Add one or two T sour cream to mixture. You will add the remainder of the 8 oz. container at the end just to heat.
Add one T dried parsley.
Add one T dry mustard ( I use more!! Add to suit your taste)
Salt and pepper to taste.
Simmer (low heat) while you cook the noodles in a separate pot. Drain noodles.
Add the remaining sour cream and heat but don’t boil.
You can always add a little water and simmer if it gets too thick.
Serve on top of noodles. Goes well with spinach!
