Beef Stroganoff

2 lb of beef cut into 2.5” by 1” strips
1 tbsp minced onion
4 tbsp butter, divided
½ lb mushroom caps
Salt
Nutmeg
½ pint sour cream

Sauté onion in 2 tbsp butter in a heavy skillet until it is yellow. Add beef. Meat cooking time varies with the quality of meat used – about 20 min for round steak to 5 min for fillet. Cook, turning frequently to brown on all sides. Set aside.

Sauté mushroom caps in 2 tbsp butter. Cook 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and a trace of nutmeg. Add to beef. Add the sour cream. Season delicately to taste. Serve with brown or wild rice.

This can be prepared with left-over beef roast. Cut roast in neat strips, remove all fat. Add to onion, but cook no further. Add cooked mushrooms and sour cream, then heat to serve.
