A most yellow recipe - Beef Stroganoff

Hello all :)


I'm sorry it has been a while since I've blogged anything, but I've been busy. This post is about the recipe, so here's a small list of what's been going on

• I got a job!! At Justice, the little girl's store. I'm very excited to get started! God is good. :) 
• I have reached the half-way point in the rough draft of my current writing project. I really want to get it done before school starts. 
• I have a brand new idea to begin planning for, ONCE I finish the first draft of the other project. 
• It's still hotter than Hades in Denton. 
• VBS is this week! 

Beef Stroganoff 

(I modified the recipe from the Joy of Cooking cookbook) 

Ingredients

(This is for 4-6 people; for the beef tips and noodles, just use how much you normally would to feed that number.)

~ Beef tips

~Egg noodles

~ 1 medium onion

~ 2 tablespoons of solid butter

~ 1 cup of beef bouillon 

~ 2 tablespoons of spicy mustard

~ 3 tablespoons of sour cream

~ 1 tablespoon of flour 

~ salt, pepper, garlic salt

What I did

1- Chop the beef tips into bite-sized chunks

2- Chop the onion into rings

3- Brown the meat and onion in a non-stick stew pot over medium-high heat until the meat is only slightly pink in the middle and the onions are soft.  Season the meat with salt, pepper, garlic salt, or whatever else you want. 

4- Store meat in a covered dish. 

5- Melt the butter in a small sauce pan over low-medium heat. Once it is completely melted, slowly whisk the flour into the butter. The mixture will be slightly doughy.

6- Add the beef bouillon whisking the mixture very fast until there are no doughy lumps. This mixture should be water with a very runny consistency. Increase the heat to medium and cover the pan until the mixture comes to a boil.

7- Once the mixture is boiling, whisk the mustard and sour cream into in the pan. Whisk until the lumps are gone. This mixture should be thick and creamy. Reduce the heat to low-medium and let the sauce warm. 

This is how the sauce should look when it is done. 

8- Boil the pasta the way you normally do

See what I mean about it being a yellow recipe? ;)

9- Drain the pasta and dish a serving into a bowl. Top with meat and sauce. Then eat it cause it's delicious. ;)
