Instructions
- Mix flour, salt, lemon pepper, and celery seed in bowl.
- Add cubed meat and knead meat into flour mixture.
- Heat corn oil and one tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Shake excess flour from meat and set pieces into heated oil; brown meat on each side.
- When meat is almost brown on remaining side, pour chopped onions over meat.
- Cover five minutes, then mix with a wooden spoon.
- Add one cup beef (or chicken) bouillon and soy sauce to meat.
- Simmer 15 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally.
- Then add a second cup of the beef bouillon, cooking wine and rosemary leaves to the meat mixture.
- Allow the meat to simmer on low heat foran additional 30 to 35 minutes.
- Stir occasionally.
- Don't be in a hurry, as cooking time affects the tenderness of the meat.
- When done, the meat should be covered with a thick, brown gravy.
- Using a separate skillet (preferably stainless steel), combine the remaining cup of beef bouillon and 1 tbsp butter.
- Heat to simmer.
- Add fresh, sliced mushrooms and simmer five minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare egg noodles in a separate pan, following instructions on label.
- Add mushroom soup to steamed mushrooms.
- Simmer 5 minutes, then add sour cream; simmer another 5 minutes.
- Finally, fold the meat mixture into the mushroom mixture.
- Simmer an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Serve immediately with egg noodles (as a side dish) and your favorite vegetable and bread.
- Enjoy!
