Beef Stroganoff

This is an easy recipe that we enjoy. I do not measure anything myself but here is the amounts the recipe uses and I also use round steak instead. It was summited by Mrs William Gargano in the 1976 GET SMAKELIJK cookbook.

1 lb. sirloin steak 1/4" thick
1 (10#/4 oz) can beef consomme
1 clove garlic, peeled and cut
1/2 cup water
3 Tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 cup margarine
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 lb. fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sour cream

wide boiled noodles, rice or mashed potatoes

Rub both sides of meat with garlic. Cut meat into strips 1 1/2" x 1". Mix flour, salt, pepper, and paprika. Add meat and toss lightly until strips are well coated. Reserve remaining mixture.
