Stroganoff for the Refined Palate

Beef Stroganoff is delicious. And it turns out, it does not originate solely from a Hamburger Helper box. It's actually from Russia...but then again, so was Hamburger Helper last time I checked.

This version includes a white wine and dill sauce combined with the usual ingredients: beef, mushrooms, and noodles.

-Braise some cubed beef with some olive oil, dry white wine, and beef stock
-Remove beef once it is cooked to medium, leaving the sauce to simmer and reduce
-Add dill, salt, and pepper (maybe a pat of butter as well, but don't tell Jill)
-Once the sauce is reduced and thickened up, return the noodles (have I mentioned noodles yet? You're cooking pasta at the same time, right? Farfalle works well.) and beef to the pan and simmer for a while. Maybe even throw the whole thing in the oven to cook together.
-Top with a little Greek yogurt and dill.

Just like that little glove guy used to make.
