Beef in Noodles with a lemon sauce (Serves 4)

Ingredients

• 1 cup of egg noodles
• 2 tablespoons of low-fat butter or margarine
• 3/4 cup of onions, diced into small pieces
• 1 1/2 pounds of lean and ground beef
• 1 pound of mushrooms, sliced
• 3/4 cup of water
• 2 egg yolks, separated from whites
• 3 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons of cooking sherry

Recipe

Cover the egg noodles with boiling water until ready, then drain but keep water. Whilst the noodles are underway, melt the butter into a frying pan and add the onions. Sauté for approximately five minutes before adding the beef, the noodles and the mushrooms. Cook on a high heat for a further five minutes whilst stirring. Add the water, lower temperature and cook for a further five minutes.

Mix the egg yolks with the lemon juice and the sherry and add some of the water from the noodle-pan. Heat the mixture on a skillet, add to the noodles and serve immediately.
