Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoon Beef suet or butter
  • 2 1/2 pound Beef, cubed (stew meat or sirloin)
  • 1 1/2 cup Onions, chopped
  • 1 pound Mushrooms, sliced (fresh or canned)
  • 3/4 cup Dry Sherry
  • 3 tablespoon Cornstarch
  • 1 cup Cold water
  • 2 cup Sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon MSG (optional)
Directions
  1. 1
    Heat the beef suet or butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over high heat until melted and hot.
  2. 2
    Add the cubed beef to the pot and brown lightly on all sides.
  3. 3
    Season the beef with salt, pepper, and MSG (if using), stirring to coat.
  4. 4
    Add the chopped onions and sliced mushrooms to the pot with the beef.
  5. 5
    Pour in the dry sherry and stir well to combine with the beef and vegetables.
  6. 6
    Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for about 10 minutes, allowing the onions and mushrooms to soften.
  7. 7
    In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with the cold water until smooth and no lumps remain.
  8. 8
    Stir the cornstarch mixture into the beef pot continuously to thicken the sauce.
  9. 9
    If the mixture is too thick, add a little more water so the meat chunks are just covered when pushed down.

    Remove the pot from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly for a minute.
  11. 11
    Stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated and the sauce is creamy.
