Beef Stroganoff

Ingredients

• 1 lb beef tenderloin, cut into thin, bite-sized pieces (I used thinly sliced sirloin tip).
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1/2 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 1/2 cup minced onion
• 1 can beef consommé 
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 1 minced garlic clove
• 1 tsp salt
• 3 tbsp flour
• 1 cup sour cream

Directions:

1. Melt butter in pan. Add mushrooms and onion. Cook until tender (about 5 minutes). Remove mushrooms and onion. 
2. Add beef and brown.
3. Reserve 1/3 cup consomme. Add to pan remaining consomme together with ketchup, galic and salt. Stir. Cover and simmer 15 minutes.
4. Add remaining consommé and flour. Stir.
5. Add onion and mushrooms. Heat to bubbling, stirring constantly for one minute. Reduce heat to low.
6. Stir in sour cream. Keep on low so sour cream does not bubble. 
7. Serve over rice or noodles (I used a bag of egg noodles. Delish).
