Week 13: Stove Top Beef Stroganoff

I was lazy and made Hamburger Helper Beef Stroganoff the other night. Don't get me, wrong, it's quick and easy, but nothing beats the real thing. This is my simple stove top recipe. It can also be done in the crock pot if you want to prep it early!

Ingredients:
1-1.5 lb cubed round steak, cut into bite sized pieces
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
8-10 white mushrooms, rinsed and sliced
1 family sized can cream of mushroom soup
1/4 cup grated Asiago cheese
1 cup sour cream
parsley, fresh or dried
noodles

To make:

Brown the steak in a large pan. Add onion and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until onions are translucent. Add mushrooms.

Add cream of mushroom soup. Cover and simmer for about half an hour, until soup thins and mushrooms are cooked. Add sour cream and cheese and stir. Do not boil the sour cream or it will curdle. Serve over freshly cooked noodles. Garnish with parsley. Salt and pepper can be added to taste.

I like to use the Asiago for a little added flavor. Add more or less mushrooms depending on your tastes. Simmering the mushrooms not only cooks them, but they absorb all the flavors and turn our delicious! I buy the 6 packs of noodles from Costco and use a whole bag in this recipe. It makes 6 large servings or about 8 smaller servings. This recipe reheats great too. We had a lot of leftovers to enjoy all week long.
