This is what you'll need:

• 
  
  1 1/2 lb boneless beef sirloin steak  
• 2 teaspoons canola oil  
• 1 cup chopped onion (1 large)  
• 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic  
• 2 cups Progresso® beef flavored broth (from 32-oz carton)  
• 4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce  
• 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves  
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1 tablespoon ketchup  
• 1 cup reduced-fat sour cream

This is what you'll do:

1 Cut the beef with the grain into 2-inch strips, then cut the strips across the grain into 1/8-inch slices. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add beef; cook 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until brown. Add onion and garlic to skillet; cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2 Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the broth, the Worcestershire sauce, basil, salt and pepper. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is tender.

Our Review:
Me: This was the best beef stroganoff I've ever had. It was oh so creamy...and with the amount of calories in each serving, I didn't feel guilty about having dessert (always a plus!).
Chad: He loved this. I've been sneaky and not told him about my challenge, until last night. He had no clue he was actually eating healthy at supper. He wants to keep this one on our dinner rotation. :o)
Nate: Nate was at a friends house so he missed out....he probably wouldn't have wanted to taste it since it has mushrooms in it.
Abby: wanted nothing to do with this one. She wouldn't even eat the plain noodles. She's getting more teeth in so I'm sure that's what the problem was....
