Ingredients
1 1/2 lb chuck steak or round
1 steak, boneless
3 tbsp flour
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp oil or shortening
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
1 cl garlic, minced
1/2 cup coca-cola
1/4 cup water
2 tbsp flour
1/2 cup water
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 can mushrooms with liquid
1 cup sour cream
2 tbsp parsley, minced
1 mashed potatoes, noodles,
1 or rice, cooked and hot
Directions
Cut beef into 1/2-inch strips; put in a plastic bag with 3
tablespoons of flour and the salt. Shake until the meat is evenly
coated.
In a heavy skillet or Dutch oven, heat oil/shortening, add the meat
strips and brown slowly, stirring often. Add onion, garlic,
Coca-Cola, and 1/4 cup of water; mix well. Cover and simmer 30 to 45
minutes or until the meat is fork-tender.
In a bowl, mix the 2 tablespoons of flour with the 1/2 cup of water
until smooth. Stir into the meat along with the Worcestershire sauce
and the undrained mushrooms. Stir and cook until thickened, 2 to 3
minutes. (If making ahead for reheating later, do not add the sour
cream now. Reheat, then complete the recipe directions.)
Stir in the sour cream and heat gently just until the gravy simmers.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve over potatoes, noodles, or rice.

The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be observed way back into ancient history, at least as far as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. However, sadly, these early cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Moving on, there were some recipe books published in the 1300s ; a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they are unconnected to the indian food that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of food prepared for the rich people of that period. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from the holy land, including spices such as basil and coriander. These new foods and spices was responsible for an eruption in publications on food, most of which still exist in private libraries. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
