We had a London broil the other day, and I had a lot of leftover meat. I looked around the internet for what to do with leftover beef, and found a number of things but nothing that tickled my fancy. I wracked my brain and this is what I came up with…
Ingredients
1/2 onion chopped
5 cloves of garlic finely chopped
8 oz. mushrooms sliced
2 TBS butter
2 TBS extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup of flour
21 oz. beef broth
1/2 cup frozen peas
Leftover beef, cut into bit size pieces
1/2 package of penne pasta, cooked
salt and pepper to taste
Heat the butter and olive oil in a skillet. Add the mushrooms, onions and garlic. Cook until caramelized over medium high heat. Turn the heat down to low and gradually add the flour.
Once the flour has been added, turn the heat off. Slowly add the beef broth a bit at a time. This prevents lumps.After all the broth is combined to the mixture, add the frozen peas.Turn the heat back up to medium high. Stir continually and you will notice that the mixture starts to thicken a bit. If it is too thick, add more broth. Next add the beef.Heat through, and then add the pasta stirring until well combined.Continue to heat until the pasta is hot. Take a taste test and if needed add salt and pepper. Then serve this up in bowls!I hope that you will try this very easy dinner dish! If you try it, be sure to let me know how this turned out for you!
This is how I make ours also. AND…if you make it with egg noodles and add sour cream, it becomes a great beef stroganoff! I also make a vegetarian version with whole button mushrooms and large diced onions…Mmmm!
Sounds good! Thanks for the comment!
Looks great! Sounds tasty as well.
