Beef Stroganoff

I have started trying to cook recipes with as few ingredients in them as possible.  Mainly to see how it pans out on my budget.  Tonight's dish was a beef stroganoff paired with a simple garden salad.  Make sure you get the right kind of meat.  Lean round steak cooks up nice and tender, and you won't be stuck chewing forever....the cut makes ALL the difference!!

Beef Stroganoff
1.5lb lean round steak cut into strips (4"long)
1C fat free sour cream
1 package Lipton Onion Soup Mix (the one with the roasted potatoes on the front of the package)
1 package of fresh mushrooms, rinsed, dried.

Brown steak strips in skillet - keep skillet covered to retain all juices.
Once steak is browned, add onion soup mix and mushrooms, stir, and continue cooking for about 10 minutes or until mushrooms are tender.
Add 1 C sour cream, stir and reduce heat to lowest setting.
Serve over whole wheat egg noodles (1C=1serving) - the stroganoff itself makes 6 servings.  Garnish with freshly chopped green onion.
