Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless beef top sirloin steak

  • ½ cup plain nonfat yogurt
  • ½ cup fat free sour cream
  • 3 tablespoons chopped chives, divided
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • ¼ teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 6 ounces portobello mushrooms, sliced (or button, cremini, or baby bella)
  • 3½ cups wide whole wheat noodles (or egg noodle, if you prefer)

Equipment

  • 1 large nonstick skillet
  • 1 small bowl

Method
 

  1. Cook the pasta according to the package directions; while pasta cooks, start the beef.
  2. Cut the beef into strips or chunks and set aside.
  3. Spray a large nonstick skillet with nonstick spray and place it over low heat; once warm add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes (or until tender). Remove the onion from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Combine the yogurt, sour cream, 2 tablespoons chives, flour, ketchup, mustard, salt and pepper in small bowl; set aside.
  5. Heat the teaspoon of oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and mushrooms and cook (stirring very frequently) for 3 to 4 minutes or until beef is lightly browned; return the onion to skillet with the beef and mushroom and reduce the heat to low.
  6. Stir the yogurt mixture into the skillet until well blended and slightly thickened (about 2 minutes). Serve over the noodles, sprinkled with the remaining tablespoon of chives.
