CLASSIC BEEF STROGANOFF
1 1/4 pounds sirloin tips, trimmed of fat and cut into 1 inch pieces
2 teaspoons Bragg’s liquid aminos
2 tablespoons butter
3/4 pound mushrooms, sliced thin **
2 teaspoons hot water
1 tablespoon Coleman’s dry mustard
1 teaspoon sugar

2 tablespoons Wondra flour
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups beef broth
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon fresh chopped flat leaf parsley

• Poke each piece of meat with a fork
• In a mixing bowl toss meat pieces with Bragg’s liquid aminos, cover and marinate 1 hour.

 

• While meat is marinating prep mushrooms.
• In a large skillet melt butter over medium high heat.
• Add mushrooms and sauce until soft and caramelizeng.
• Drain mushrooms and set aside.

 

• Whisk together the water and mustard powder with the sugar, and some pepper just until a smooth paste forms. Set aside.
• Pat meat dry with paper toweling.
• Season with fresh ground pepper.

 

• Heat oil in large skillet over medium high heat.
• Add beef pieces and sear on ALL sides, reducing heat as necessary to prevent burning. Transfer eat to plate.
• Add Add onions and saute until caramelized and browning.
• Add in the tomato sauce and flour, stirring to blend.
• Stir in beef broth, mustard paste and wine until well blended and bring to a SLOW simmer, cooking until slightly reduced and starting to thicken.
• Fold meat pieces and mushrooms into the sauce and cook a couple minutes more until heated through.
• Remove from heat and fold in sour cream.
• Serve immediately over buttered noodles.
• Sprinkle with parsley.

*NOTE*: I prefer thin sliced mushrooms, but some prefer larger mushrooms in which case you should use 1 pound and quarter them.
