Beef Stroganoff

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds of lean beef tips (stew meat) ($2.99 on sale)
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced (cut into very small pieces, or you can just buy jarred minced garlic) ($.39)
• Pinch of salt
• 1 tsp. of pepper
• 2 tbsp. of olive oil
• 1/2 tsp. of garlic powder
• 1 sprig of fresh rosemary, leaves removed and chopped ($2.88)
• 1 tsp. of dried thyme
• 2 1/2 cups of cremini mushrooms ($2.24)
• 1 package of white button mushrooms ($1.98)
• 1 large yellow onion, chopped ($.87)
• 1/4 cup of sherry cooking wine
• 1 cup of fat free half & half ($1.50)
• 1 cup of low-sodium beef broth ($.86)
• 1 tbsp. of dijon mustard
• 1/2 cup of Greek style non-fat yogurt ($1.00)
• 1 package of whole wheat egg noodles ($1.08)

Directions:

Place the minced garlic, pinch of salt, 1/2 tsp. of pepper, 1 tbsp of olive oil, rosemary, and thyme into a small bowl and stir together until a paste consistency. Place the cubed beef into a large saute pan over medium-high heat and add the garlic/herb mixture and saute until meat is cooked through. Once cooked through, remove the beef mixture into a bowl and set aside. Cook the egg noodles in boiling water according to directions on the package, drain and add back into the pot.

Using the same pan, over medium-high heat, add remaining 1 tbsp. of olive oil, mushrooms, and onions. Saute until lightly browned and season with remaining 1/2 tsp. of pepper and garlic powder. Briefly remove the pan from the heat and add sherry white wine to deglaze the pan. Return the pan to the heat and add fat-free half & half and low-sodium beef broth. Reduce heat and simmer until reduced by about a 1/4-1/2 (about 5-8 min.). Turn off the heat and stir in the dijon mustard and Greek yogurt. Add the beef back into the mushroom sauce and stir until combined. Either in the pasta pot or in another large bowl, combine the pasta and the mushroom/beef mixture and stir until well incorporated. If needed, season with salt & pepper to taste. Enjoy!
