Beef Stroganoff In The Mellinkoff Manner - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 lb mushroom, sliced
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons butter
salt and pepper
1/2 cup sherry wine
3/4 teaspoon paprika
2 cups sour cream
2 -4 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup beef stock
2 1/2 2 1/2 lbs New York strip steaks or 2 1/2 lbs sirloin
1 tablespoon oil (may need more)
1/4 cup sherry wine
1 1/4 tablespoons tomato paste

Preparation

Saute mushrooms and onion in the 3 T butter and add salt and pepper. Cook 3 minutes and add the 1/2 C Sherry wine and stir. Slowly mix in the sour cream using a wire whisk and add the paprika, and lemon juice. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the 2 T butter with 2 T flour. Add the beef stock over low heat and stir until sauce is very thick. Add this into the sour cream mixture.
Cut the meat into slices 2\" by 1/4\" and then season with some salt and pepper. Sear them quickly in the 1 T oil until browned on both sides and remove from the pan. Don't do too many slices at a time (it won't sizzle). Continue with remaining meat slices and remove from pan. Drain fat from the skillet and add 1/4 C sherry wine to the pan and deglaze.
Stir in tomato paste, sour cream mixture, and meat. Taste and add more salt, lemon juice or paprika as needed.
Serve over egg noodles.
