Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 pounds top loin steak -- about 1 inch thick
2 tablespoons butter
1 clove garlic
1 1/2 cups beef broth
2 tablespoons ketchup -- low-carb
1 teaspoon salt
1 medium onion
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 cup sour cream -- (or plain yogurt)

1. Cut the beef across the grain into about 1/8-inch strips. Cut longer
strips crosswise in half.

2. Melt the butter in the skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef in
the butter 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until brown.

3. Peel and finely chop the garlic. Reserve 1/3 cup of the beef broth. Stir
the remaining broth, the ketchup, salt and garlic into beef. Heat to
boiling over high heat. Once mixture is boiling, reduce heat just enough so
mixture bubbles gently. Cover and cook about 10 minutes or until beef is
tender.

4. While the beef is cooking, peel and chop the onion.

5. Stir the onion into the beef mixture. Cover and cook about 5 minutes or
until onion is tender.

6. Shake the reserved 1/3 cup beef broth and the xanthan gum in a tightly
covered jar or container. Gradually stir this mixture into beef mixture.
Heat to boiling over high heat, stirring constantly. Continue boiling 1
minute, stirring constantly, until thickened. Reduce heat just enough so
mixture bubbles gently.

7. Stir in the sour cream. Cook until hot, but do not heat to boiling or
the mixture will curdle.

Well, for years I was smart.... I recommend pleasant. You may quote me."
