Beef Stroganoff (< 30 min)
(yields 5 servings; serving size is 6 oz)

• 1 pound lean beef (top round)
• 2 tsp vegetable oil
• 3/4 Tbsp onion, finely chopped
• 1 pound mushrooms, sliced
• black pepper to taste
• 1/2 tsp dried basil
• 1/4 cup white cooking wine
• 1 cup low-fat plain yogurt
• 6 cups macaroni or other pasta, cooked in unsalted water

Directions:
1. Cut beef into 1-inch cubes. Heat 1 tsp oil in a non-stick skillet. Sauté onion for 2 minutes.
2. Add beef and sauté for additional 5 minutes. Turn to brown evenly. Remove from pan and keep hot.
3. Add remaining oil to pan; sauté mushrooms.
4. Add beef and onions to pan with seasonings.
5. Add wine and yogurt; gently stir in. Heat, but do not boil.
6. Serve with macaroni.
Note: if thickening is desired, use 2 tsp cornstarch; calories are the same as flour, but cornstarch has double thickening power
