Beef Stroganoff (using filet mignon)

MikeDef

The one Mom and I always made. I like to go HEAVY on the dill and pepper. LOTS of sour cream too.

1 ½ pounds filet mignon

4 Tbsp butter, divided

1 large onion, chopped

¾ pound mushrooms

1 tspn Bovril (if unavailable, we use Kitchen Bouquet)

2 tsp tomato paste

2 to 3 Tbsp flour

1 cup beef broth

Ground pepper

1 cup sour cream

Dried dill weed

Slice beef into thin strips pat dry and brown quickly in half the butter. Set aside.

Chop the onion and slice the mushrooms; saute both in the remaining half of the butter until tender but not brown. Start with the onions until they begin to soften then add the mushrooms and continue sauteing until tender.

Stir in Bovril and tomato paste.

Mix flour smoothly with a little of the beef broth and stir into mixture. Gradually add the rest of the broth, return to heat and stir until begins to boil and thickens.

Add pepper to taste. Over low heat stir in sour cream into the center of the mixture a little at a time. Add beef back in, add salt to taste, sprinkle with dill to taste.

Serve over noodles.

I tend to use a LOT of pepper and dill.
