Beef and Portobello Mushroom Stroganoff

Beef and Portobello Mushroom Stroganoff
Ingredients

2 teaspoon oil, canola, plus 1 tablespoon, divided
1 pounds beef, flank steak, trimmed
4 large mushrooms, portobello, stemmed, halved and thinly sliced
1 large onion(s), sliced
3/4 teaspoon thyme, dried
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoon flour, all-purpose
14 ounce(s) broth, beef, reduced sodium
2 tablespoon liqueur, cognac, or brandy
1 tablespoon vinegar, red wine
1/2 cup(s) sour cream, reduced-fat
4 tablespoon chives, fresh, or parsley
Preparation

Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add steak and cook until browned on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side. (The meat will be rare, but will continue to cook as it rests.) Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut lengthwise into 2 long pieces then crosswise, across the grain, into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the pan over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion, thyme, salt and pepper and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are very tender and lightly browned, 8 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables; stir to coat.

Stir in broth, cognac (or brandy) and vinegar and bring to a boil, stirring often. Reduce heat to a simmer, and continue cooking, stirring often, until the mixture is thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in sour cream, chives (or parsley), the sliced steak and any accumulated juices. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes more.

Jillian Says:
Using whole-wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour will give you more nutritional bang for your calorie buck.
Look for an all-natural sour cream with minimal added ingredients.
