• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 10-1/2 oz (294 grm). can condensed beef broth
• 1 cup (225 ml) dairy sour cream (do not substitute FF or Lite for best results)

• Sprinkle steak with 1 tbsp (15 ml) flour and the salt.
• Brown the floured steak in a skillet.
• Add the onions and garlic.

• Combine sour cream, sherry, and mushrooms and stir into the meat in the baking dish.

Comments

This doubles easily and can is wonderful served with homemade or kluski style noodles.

This is an old timey recipe that everyone who eats it swears it is the best they have ever had. To save money, you can use minute steaks or twice to tripled tenderized chuck steaks. I have made this using a gound sirloin patties with great success too.

A simple salad and a big slice of apple pie and this is probably the next most American Meal outside of Fried Chicken!
