Beef Stroganoff a la Calvin

We usually make Beef Stroganoff after a yummy Sunday Night Dinner at Grandma and Grandpa's house.   Using left overs from a yummy roast beef dinner - for those of you who know my parents, you know how yummy those dinners are.
Since they are "snow birding" it, we are on our own for Sunday dinners.   For this Beef Stroganoff, we used leftovers from our Big Steak dinner.


As the title suggests - this dinner is all Calvin - creating without a recipe.

First he boiled the water to cook whole wheat egg noodles.

He sliced 2 onions.

Added the onions to pan heated with olive oil.

Don't look...  he then added butter (he says it's all about the butter)

And of course, he seasoned it with salt and freshly ground black pepper

Here is the left over steak from the other night.   He chopped it in to bite size pieces.

He floured the beef lightly then threw it in the pan of beautifully browned onions.

Next he added about a cup of beef stock.

Then dijon mustard.

And cheese.   Cheese?  Why did he add cheese?  Because he wanted to....  and why not!

Then about a cup of Greek style yogurt (because that's what we had in the fridge)

He put the egg noodles in the bowl then added the beef mixture on top.  Can you smell it???

How about now?   Can you smell it?   Can you say YUMMY?

Served with a simple green salad.  

What an amazingly yummy dinner!   I think this was the best beef stroganoff I have ever had!   We usually use sour cream, but I think we will only use greek yogurt from now on. And when I say "we" I really mean Calvin.  I have never made beef stroganoff before, and why would I when he does it so well!
The bestest (is that even a word?) part, is he cleans the kitchen after himself.   And the bestest bestest part, is he cleans the kitchen after me too!
