1 pound beef tenderloin Or sirloin steak about 1/2 inch thick
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 pound mushrooms
1 medium onion, minced, (about 1/2 cup)
10 1/2 ounces beef broth

1 crushed clove garlic
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
3 tablespoons flour
1 cup sour cream
3 - 4 cups hot cooked egg noodles (we use extra wide size)

Cut meat across the grain into 1/2 inch strips, about 1 1/2 inches long.
Melt butter in a large skillet. Add mushrooms and onion. Cook and stir until onion is tender then remove from the skillet.

In the same skillet, cook meat until light brown. Reserve 1/3 cup of the broth, stir in the rest of the broth, ketchup, garlic & salt. Cover & simmer for about 15 mins.

Blend the reserved 1/3 cup of broth and flour, stir into meat mixture. Add mushrooms and onions. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Reduce heat. Stir in sour cream, heat till just evenly hot all over.

Serve over noodles.

Chop meat variation: You can use chopped meat instead of steak. Simply brown about a pound or so of lean chopped meat, making sure to keep it in large-ish chunks. Don't let the meat crumble into fine pieces.

We use this variation if we don't have steak in the house.
