Beef Stroganoff

Beef Stroganoff! Before I get started I will warn you that this recipe does take 2 hours. When there is a lot of time involved I always like to know up front. The plus side is it taste good, and that does make it worth the time.

Step 1 Gather the ingredients. I am making my own broth out of soup bones. Store bought works great too.

Step 2. If you are making your own broth, start the soup bones now. (I don't find any particular taste difference in making your own broth, but if you buy your beef from a local farmer a half a cow at the time, this is a great way to use the soup bones)

Step 3. Cut the whole roast into bite sized pieces. Removing the bone and most of the fat as you go.

                                      

Step 4: Chop the onion.

Step 5: Melt 1/2 a stick of butter in a small skillet, Saute mushrooms until the mushrooms are golden brown. Set aside.

Step 6: Melt 1/2 stick of butter in a larger a larger skillet. Brown the roast, it is okay if it is still a little pink, it is not done cooking yet.

Step 7: Push roast to one side of the pan and brown the chopped onion the the juice for about 3 min.

Step 8: Push the onions to the side with the roast. Add flour to thicken up the juice. Then pour in  beef broth, stir while broth is coming to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, and add mushrooms and mustard stir everything together and simmer for 1 hour.

Step 9: Just before serving add sour cream, and stir until combined. Serve over rice, or noodles.
