The other day my granddaughter bought some eye round, already sliced about 1/2" thick, but didn't quite know what to do with it. So, I went searching some old recipes and came across one for Beef Stroganoff...now that's going back a few years!
I didn't have all the ingredients, so I started using what was already in the pantry (that's always fun) and this is what turned out for dinner last night.
I listed the ingredients and about how much I used, but don't let that hold you back from experimenting with your own favorite herbs and spices. I didn't add any mushrooms (not a favorite with my family). I also didn't have sour cream, no problem. Believe me, they didn't miss either one!
This would make a great Sunday dinner, and once you've made it to your own taste, a great company meal too!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs. sirloin tips (chuck roast or round steak, trim fat and cut into pieces)
1 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. butter
1 tsp. meat tenderizer
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 small onion, chopped
2-3 cloves garlic, finely diced
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. oregano or marjoram (I used oregano)
4 cups beef broth
1 cup red wine
16 oz. package egg noodles (cooked and drained)
In a large skillet, brown meat in olive oil and butter on low heat; season with meat tenderizer. Let cook for about an hour, stirring occasionally; do not letting juices dry up.
Add Worcestershire sauce, onion, garlic, oregano; stir together. Pour in beef broth and red wine. Continue cooking until meat is fork tender (about an hour). You may want to add a little salt and pepper at this point. Remove meat from pan with a slotted spoon, into a separate plate, set aside.
Place 3 Tbsp. flour in a jar, add about 1 cup water, cover and shake or stir until smooth and the consistency of heavy cream (you may have to add a little water at a time.)
Slowly add the flour/water mixture to juice in pan; whisk as you do this (whisking will give you a gravy with no lumps). Add enough to make the gravy thicken, but not too thick. If this happens, just add a little water or beef broth to thin. Now, add meat back into gravy and let simmer for a few minutes.
Pour over noodles in a large serving dish.
Sit back and enjoy watching your family devour it! ;)
