Sunday Dinner at the ready . . .

This is a favorite way to present a good Sunday dinner without spending hours in the kitchen. It's like having your relaxing Sunday and eating, too!

Easy Beef Stroganoff

Approximately 1 1/2 pound of beef sliced into thin strips
1 large onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup sliced, fresh mushrooms
6 cloves of garlic, smashed and chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup beef broth
4 tablespoons sour cream
1/2 teaspoon brown mustard

Melt the butter in a large skillet. Brown the beef in this and then remove meat to a platter. Now add the mushroom, garlic, and onion to the skillet and cook until tender and slightly brown, about 3-5 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the onion mixture and cook a minute longer. Add the beef broth and cook until well combined. Add the mustard and the browned beef and cook until meat is done and sauce thickens.

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the sour cream and more salt and pepper, if necessary. This is great over the traditionally used egg noodles or with rice. A steamed vegetable of your choosing nicely finished of the menu.
