Beef Stroganoff


This recipe is from America's Test Kitchen. It was F A B U L O U S!!! I didn't take a picture of it which is quite out of character for me (this pic is from their website).

A tippy-too: The recipe calls for Tenderloin steak which is otherwise known as 'filet mignon' which costs 5 billion dollars. BUT... my fellow butcher here at the local Harmons told me that Flat-iron steak is just as tender and costs less than 1/2 as much. Tried it. Loved it. BONUS!

Another tippy-too: American's test kitchen says the best egg noodles they've found are Light 'n Fluffy's extra wide egg noodles.

And one other tippy-too (that has to do with a different recipe): I usually make Bryan's absolute favorite meal, Chicken Pillows, with exra crispy shake 'n bake for the bread crumbs. Well, come to find out shake 'n bake is salt city... and they're just too salty, not tasting to their full potential. So, off of Fran's suggestion I tried using crushed Ritz crackers instead and... wallah! 10 times better.
