Elite Beef Stroganoff with Sour Cream

Cut the beef into strips, and pat as dry as possible with paper towels. Drying the meat is essential for proper browning. Brown the meat strips quickly in half the butter(2 tablespoons). Set aside.

Chop the onion and slice the mushrooms. Beginning with the onions, saute them until they begin to soften, add the mushrooms and continue, sauteing until tender but not brown. Remove from heat. Add the Bovril and tomato paste.

Mix the flour smoothly with a little of the beef broth and stir into the mixture. Gradually stir in the remaining broth. Return to heat and stir until mixture begins to boil. Add pepper. Over low heat, stir sour cream into the center of the mixture, a little at a time.

Pour over beef. Add salt to taste. Sprinkle with dill.
