Mom's French Stroganoff
While growing up, Mom's french-style stroganoff was one of my favorite meals to eat. I whipped some up from my Mom's recipe tonight. It was just as good as I remember. Delish.

I modified her recipe slightly (halved it, and then added a few things). But it is essentially my Mom's:

2 tbs butter
2 tbs flour
1 6-oz can tomato paste
½ cup sour cream
2 cup beef broth
½ onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
½ lb New York or Round steak, cubed
1 tsp tarragon
olive oil
salt
pepper

Melt butter in 2-quart sauce pan. Add flour and cook until dark golden brown in color. Add tomato paste and sour cream; stir well. Add beef broth and bring to boil; then let simmer.

Meanwhile, in a 3-quart sauce pan brown onion and garlic in olive oil. Cook until onion is slightly translucent. Add steak and tarragon. Brown meat. Add sauce to onion/steak mix and simmer for 10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve over rice.

(Update Sun Oct 12 17:17:51 PDT 2008 // halved the butter and flour again per Mark)
