Quick Beef Stroganoff

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb (225 g) beef filet or boneless sirloin
• 1 large shallot or 1 small onion
• 1 small garlic clove
• 2 tbsp (30 mL) butter
• 1 tsp (5 mL) paprika
• 2 tbsp (30 mL) sunflower oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2/3 cup (160 mL) sour cream
• 1 dill pickle, cut into thin strips
• 2 tbsp (30 mL) finely chopped fresh Italian parsley

Directions

1. Trim the meat of any fat and sinew, then cut it into strips about 1 1/2 inches (3.75 cm) long and 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) thick. Finely chop or slice the shallot or onion. Crush the garlic.
2. Melt the butter in a skillet, add the shallot or onion and cook over low heat for 5-7 minutes until soft and translucent. Stir in the garlic and paprika. Cook for 1 minute, stirring. Remove the mixture from the pan and set aside.
3. Add the oil to the pan and heat it over high heat. When it sizzles, add the beef and toss for 2 to 3 minutes, until the beef is lightly browned. Stir in the shallot mixture and salt and pepper to taste and heat through, stirring.
4. Swirl in the sour cream and serve immediately, over rice, noodles or baked or mashed potatoes, topped with the pickle strips and parsley.
