From Grandma's Kitchen: Beef Stroganoff

My Grandma's beef stroganoff is by far the best I've ever had. It is rich, tender, and just really delicious. In addition, it can also be very healthy. It freezes well, too. I love serving it over brown rice, with steamed broccoli on the side.

3 1/2 lb. Beef round sliced in 2"strips.

1 cup butter

6  tablespoons flour*

1 1/2 cups onions**

1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste

1 lemon{juice}

2 cups water

1 1/2 cups mushrooms

1 1/2 tsp. salt

2 teaspoons Worstershire sauce

2 cloves garlic

3 cubes buillion***

3/4 cup sherry

Optional: 1 1/2 cups cream and 3/4 cups sour cream

Baste meat with lemon juice, roll in flour and fry in 1 cup butter until brown. Add the onions and saute until golden. Add the rest of the ingredients and cook until tender.


*I use Spelt flour and it works fine
**I leave the onions out because hubby doesn't care for onions. I think they are a wonderful addition, though.
***I make it with stock instead of water, leave out the bullion, and add a little extra salt.
