Beef Stroganoff-leftover style

I know it's sacrilege to have left over steak, but inevitably it seems to happen with only two of us. Especially when there are baked potatoes and cottage cheese available. I know that sounds strange too, but trust me and my grandpa-it's tasty. So my mom likes cold meat, so left over steak at her house was no a problem. Occasionaly we'd chop some up and smother it in BBQ microwave and poof pulled beef sandwhich. While a good option, I've made this recipe twice now and it works out well and gets rid of many left over items all in one recipe.

Beef Stroganoff
Note: You could always make this from scratch and just use beef tips in place of the leftover steak. Makes 3 servings.


3c wide egg noodles, cooked


2t olive oil
2t minced garlic
1/4 onion, sliced
1/4-1/2c sliced mushrooms
1/2c beef broth
8oz steak, sliced thinly

1/2c sour cream


Warm oil in deep skillet or sauce pan, add mushrooms, garlic and onion and cook until onions just start to turn translucent. Add beef and broth and warm through. Bring to a gentle simmer and add ~1t cornstarch slurry while stirring to thicken sauce, add more as necessary. Turn off heat and stir in sour cream. Serve over noodles.
