Beef Stroganoff over Buttered Noodles

*[This recipe can be a good use for leftover beef]

The best beef Stroganoff simply starts with good ingredients, like grass-fed (free of hormones, steroids, and antibiotic) or organic beef… sautéed with onions, mushrooms and sour cream.
Beef is the best source of iron and vitamin B-12, which aids the metabolism of every cell in your body.
For this recipe I use common white button mushrooms.
Just trim the stem ends and wipe the caps clean with a dry towel.
Note – when sour cream is cooked it must be heated slowly over low heat or it will separate. Do not allow it to boil. Also, be careful not to over stir sour cream because it can thin and curdle.
Serve over buttered noodles.

Ingredients:

2 lbs of medium to rare cooked lean Roast Beef (or more) 😀
Dash of salt (or to taste, which you do thru-out cooking) 😉
Dash of fresh cracked black pepper
4 ounces of butter
3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour

4. Melt 2oz butter with 2oz of olive oil, and add the beef strips. Stir until cooked and remove to a container. If using leftovers, heat thru.
