Rouladen

http://cookcity.blogspot.com/2007/02/beef-rouladen.html

I used this recipe with variations. Skipped the flour altogether, added a smidgen of tarragon and a bay leaf or two to the sauce, substituted beer for the Worcestershire sauce. The prep time can take about 30 minutes to about 1 hour.

Beef Stroganoff (without onions)

5 Tbsp butter
1 pound of beef, tri-tip works well
1/2 pound or so cremini mushrooms, sliced
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
a dash or 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
a pinch or two chopped fresh tarragon
1 cup of sour cream 


Heat a small bit (1/2 tbsp) olive oil on high in a frying pan. Seer meat at high with 3tbs butter. Remove from pan. Reduce heat to medium.  Toss mushrooms in, add the remaining butter and cook for a few minutes, sprinkling the nutmeg and tarragon on. Put in sour cream and meat until heated. Tadah!
