1 1/2 lb. beef (tenderloin or top sirloin)
2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. butter
1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
1 sm. onion, minced
1 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. pepper
3/4 c. sour cream
Hot buttered noodles (for 4 servings)

Cut meat into 1/4 x 2 inch strips. Mix flour with the salt. Toss meat with the mixture. Heat butter in heavy frying pan. Add garlic and onion. Saute until garlic is lightly browned. Spoon out and reserve. Add meat to same pan, a few pieces at a time. Brown quickly and keep pieces as separate as possible to prevent "stewing" the meat.

When all meat is browned, return onion and garlic to pan. Sprinkle with paprika and pepper. Blend well. Fold in the sour cream. Heat slowly; do not boil. Serve over hot buttered noodles. Garnish with parsley and butter-sauteed mushroom caps.
