This is the second beef stroganoff recipe I am putting on my site. This is now perhaps my favorite of the two both have merits. Now that I live for the most part alone. This is probably going to be the one I make from now on. My local Weiss market had london broil on sale buy one get on free. I essentially got 2 one and a half pound london broils for about $9.00
Last night I cubed one of the london broil’s and did kebabs served with the left over https://mymamaullrich.com/old-style-potato-salad-moms-favorite/ I only ate about half the beef. Today work was busy and now that the grocery store is an hour long round trip I am having to be more creative. The top round ( london broil ) is not the most tender cut. I initially thought I would make the left over beef into fajitas but wasn’t feeling it. I googled ” using left over cooked steak” and found the recipe I derived this from on http://thespruceeats.com a site that is amazing. I highly suggest checking it out.
I made some minor adjustments but the core is essentially the same and it really is 2 servings.
