Grandma's Beef Stroganoff

I had the great pleasure of growing up with two very different types of beef stroganoff.  A bit odd really, given that our family is mostly germanic, but Grams makes this wonderful version of the Russian dish. With that said, this dish can conjure memories of the very pleasant and heart-warming variety.  Which reminds me, at some point I need to track down Gram's recipe for cherry pie ...

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 pounds of sirloin steak - cut into 1/2 " strips
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1/4 cup wine (never knew this!)
• 1/4 - 1/2 cup mushrooms (optional, but highly suggested)
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup
• 1 can of cream of tomato soup
• 1 cup sour cream

Directions:

1. Brown steak and onions until tender
2. Add wine and mushrooms
3. Simmer for 10 minutes
4. Add soups and continue to simmer for 10-15 minutes
5. Add sour cream just before serving
6. Heat thoroughly, but do not boil
7. Serve over hot rice or noodles
