1 lb. sirloin or round steak, trimmed
1 med. onion, chopped
1 pkg. mushroom gravy mix
1 c. water
1/4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 (4 oz.) can sliced mushrooms
1 c. sour cream
2 tbsp. butter
Salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste

(A dash of celery salt and dill instead of regular salt blend nicely.)

Cut meat into 1/4-inch thick strips. Brown steak with onions and butter. Sprinkle gravy mix over meat mixture. Add water, Worcestershire, mushrooms, and spices. Simmer over low heat stirring often for an hour. Just before serving, add sour cream and stir lightly. Serve over hot noodles or rice.

We like the less conventional method of adding the cooked and drained noodles to the stroganoff after we've mixed in the sour cream. Then we let the whole mixture simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The noodles absorb the flavor of the sauce. Not as fancy, but very tasty. Yield: 4-6 servings.
