COLEMAN NATURAL BEEF STROGANOFF

INGREDIENTS

• 1.5 pounds Coleman Natural Beef Tenderloin
• 1 medium onion (enough for 1 1/2 cups thin slices)
• Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
• 1.5 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/2 pound sliced mushrooms
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1 cup chicken or beef broth
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 cup regular sour cream (or light sour cream, if desired)
• 3/4 Lb. Medium width Egg Noodles (or other flat noodles)

PREPARATION

1. Slice the 1 ½ pounds Coleman Natural Beef Tenderloin into 1 by ¼ -inch strips; slice the onion to measure 1 ½ cups thin slices; chop about 2 tablespoons fresh parsley for garnish.
2. In a large skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon vegetable over medium-high heat. When the mixture begins to sizzle, add the sliced onion; cook, stirring, 4 to 5 minutes, until tender.
3. Add the ½ pound sliced fresh mushrooms and cook, stirring, 4 to 5 minutes, until soft. Season with salt and fresh pepper.
4. Stir in the 1 tablespoon flour and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the 1 cup broth slowly, whisking well to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, lower the heat, and cook 1 minute.
5. Stir in the 2 teaspoons mustard; add the Tenderloin strips and simmer until the strips are just cooked, about 2 minutes.

Meanwhile: Cook the Egg Noodles

• 3/4 pound medium-width egg noodles
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon butter, or more to taste

1. Bring a large saucepan of water, covered, to a boil over high heat. As soon as the water comes to a boil, add the ¾ pound noodles and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook according to the package directions until tender but not overly soft.
2. Drain the noodles, transfer them to a serving bowl, and add the 1 tablespoon butter. Toss to coat the noodles and keep them warm.
   

SERVE:

1. Remove the skillet with the tenderloin from the heat and stir in the 1 cup sour cream. If necessary, add more broth (or water) to thin the sauce to the desired consistency. Season the stroganoff with salt and pepper. (If you need to reheat the stroganoff, heat it gently--do not let it boil.)
2. Place the noodles on a serving plate, top with the stroganoff, and garnish with the chopped parsley.
