Jackie Kennedy's Beef Stroganoff is a classic recipe that has been beloved by families for generations. This dish originated in Russia and was popularized in the United States during the mid-twentieth century. It was said to be a favorite of the Kennedy family and was often served at their dinner parties. The tender beef, creamy sauce, and rich flavor make this dish a crowd-pleaser that is easy to prepare and perfect for any occasion.

Instructions

1.	Begin by trimming any excess fat from the beef sirloin and slice it into thin strips. Season the beef strips with salt and pepper.
2.	In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the seasoned beef strips and cook until browned on all sides. Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set it aside.
3.	In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until the mixture turns brown. Gradually stir in the beef stock or broth and continue stirring until the mixture thickens.
4.	Add the sour cream, tomato juice or paste, and grated onions to the skillet. Stir these ingredients together until they are well blended. Then return the beef strips to the skillet and combine them with the sauce mixture.
5.	Cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the beef is heated through and the sauce is thick and creamy. Serve hot with a side of egg noodles or rice.
