Beef Stroganoff - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb sirloin, cut into julienne strips
1 tablespoon sweet paprika or 1 tablespoon hot paprika
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup onion, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup cornichon, cut into thin strips (or small sour pickles)

Preparation

Season the meat with paprika, salt, and pepper. Heat butter in a very hot skillet, then add the meat, stirring to separate the strips, so they cook evenly, about 2 or 3 minutes; remove and set aside.
Add the onion to the skillet and cook, stirring, about 1 minute. Add wine and cook until reduce by 1/2. Lower heat then add the sour cream. Do not let sauce boil as the sour cream will curdle.
Return the meat and stir. Add cornichons or sour pickles and stir. Serve over egg noodles, rice, or sauteed potatoes.
