Name: Beef Stroganoff with Tomatoes
Yield: Makes 6 servings
Ingredients: 1 1 1/2-pound top sirloin steak, halved lengthwise, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices; 1 teaspoon dried thyme; 4 tablespoons olive oil; 1 large onion, thinly sliced; 1 pound mushrooms, sliced; 3 garlic cloves, chopped; 2 tablespoons all purpose flour; 1 14 1/2-ounce can diced tomatoes in juice, drained; 1/2 cup beef broth; Large pinch of cayenne pepper; Egg noodles, freshly cooked; Chopped fresh parsley

Shullie Neumark of Rancho Palos Verdes, California, writes: "I like cooking but I'm a little bit impatient, which is why I make dishes that can be done ahead of time — and quickly. I hate being rushed before meals, especially when guests are on their way over. Those guests are usually good friends or members of our large family. Often I'll prepare some of the Russian and Lithuanian recipes passed down from my relatives."

Shullie's lighter take on the classic dish features tomato sauce instead of sour cream.
