Beef Stroganoff With Make Ahead Directions


This is a wonderful, rich dish which can be made mostly from pantry staples. it takes almost no time to make, yet tastes like you spent a lot of time on it. it's also versatile- i use this sauce (without the sour cream) for salisbury steak. If you want to take it upscale for company, try using sliced beef tenderloin. it's also a great way to use up leftover beef, just cut into thin strips, skip the steps regarding cooking the beef, and add it into the sauce a few minutes before serving so it has time to heat through.

Steps


Heat saut pan over medium-high heat until hot.
Saut half of the beef in 1 tbsp of butter briefly to brown.
Remove beef and any juices from pan into a bowl.
Repeat with second half of beef.
In same pan , without washing out , add 1 more tbsp of butter and saut the onions and mushrooms until soft.
Remove to bowl with beef.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil , and cook noodles per the package directions while finishing the sauce.
Melt remaining 3 tbsp of butter.
