Beef Stroganoff Dinner

• Beef Stroganoff (see recipe below)
• Salad with Green Onion and Sweet Dressing
• Noodles with Aged Gruyere
• Snap Peas with Toasted Hazelnuts

Beef Stroganoff is a saute, not a stew, which is why it can be cooked so quickly. This European-style menu features Salad with Green Onion and Sweet Dressing, Noodles with Aged Gruyere, and Snap Peas with Toasted Hazelnuts. If you haven't tried aged Gruyere, look for it for this recipe -- it's a full-flavored hard cheese that grates like Parmesan.

Toss salad greens with a sweet dressing like French or Thousand Island. Top with sliced green onion.

Cook egg noodles and toss with a small dab of butter. Sprinkle with grated aged gruyere.

Cook snap peas and toss with olive oil and chopped toasted hazelnuts.
