Beef Stroganoff

-


When you think of hearty dishes, beef stroganoff is one of the heartiest. Having its origins in Russia and having survived a couple hundred years of remakes, it deserves it’s place in the weekly line-up. It is simple and easy to make.  I always make mine with left-over beef. Extra pot roast works great. You can also use steak, cut up into strips or bite-size pieces.

Ingredients:

Left-over beef of any kind. You need about a pound. Cut this into bite-size pieces or strips.

1 package of sliced mushrooms, 8oz. Use any kind you prefer. 

1 small onion sliced or diced (I like to use a red one)

1 cube butter

1 teaspoon Salt

½ teaspoon Pepper

4 to 5 Tablespoon (to taste), Worcestershire sauce (I use Lea & Perrins for its excellent flavor)

1 teaspoon Herbs de Province

½ lb. bag of egg noodles boiled 

Between 1 cup and 1 ½ cups of sour cream. This depends on how saucy you like it. Light sour cream works just as well as the full fat. This will cut the calorie count a bit. 




HINT: After the noodles have boiled and you’ve drained them, return them to their pan and stir in about a tablespoon of olive oil to prevent them clumping together.

Directions:

Using a 12” skillet, melt the butter, over medium heat. Stir in the onion, mushrooms and beef. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are tender.



 Add the salt, pepper and Herbs de Province and the Worcestershire sauce. Give it a good stir. Add your sour cream while the heat is still on and incorporate well. Spoon over the boiled egg noodles in a bowl and serve.

A word of encouragement: 


"Blessed is the man

Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,

Nor stands in the path of sinners,

Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;

But his delight is in the law of the Lord,

And in His law he meditates day and night.

He shall be like a tree

Planted by the rivers of water,

That brings forth its fruit in its season,

Whose leaf also shall not wither;

And whatever he does shall prosper." - Psalm 1: 1-3

An easy and fun way to make spicy sweet walnuts. They can be stored in the refrigerator or an airtight container for several weeks. Walnuts are a healthy snack and are thought to improve memory as well. Preheat oven to 300 degrees Mix together in a medium sized bowl: 2 eggs 4 cups of walnuts (you can do half walnuts and half pecans also) In a heavier paper bag (large enough to accommodate 4 cups of nuts), mix: 1 cup sugar ½ tsp cinnamon ½ tsp all spice ½ tsp ground cloves Add the walnut/egg mixture to the bag of sugar spice and shake well. Spread the nuts out on a jelly roll pan lined with parchment paper (for easy clean-up) and bake for about fifteen minutes in a 300* oven. After fifteen minutes you can stir and flip the walnuts and bake a few minutes more if not cooked completely. Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust. Psalm 16: 1
