Ingredients

[Slice the top sirloin thin]

* 6 Tbsp butter
* 1 pound of top sirloin or tenderloin, cut thin into 1-inch wide by 2 1/2-inch long strips
* 1/3 cup chopped shallots (can substitute onions)
* 1/2 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
* Salt to taste
* Pepper to taste
* 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
* 1/2 teaspoon of dry tarragon or 2 teaspoons of chopped fresh tarragon
* 1 cup of sour cream at room temperature

Procedure

1 Melt 3 Tbsp of butter in a large skillet on medium heat. Increase the heat to high/med-high and add the strips of beef. You want to cook the beef quickly, browning on each side, so the temp needs to be high enough to brown the beef, but not so high as to burn the butter. You may need to work in batches. While cooking the beef, sprinkle with some salt and pepper. When both sides are browned, remove the beef to a bowl and set aside.

2 In the same pan, reduce the heat to medium and add the shallots. Cook the shallots for a minute or two, allowing them to soak up any meat drippings. Remove the shallots to the same bowl as the meat and set aside.

3 In the same pan, melt another 3 Tbsp of butter. Increase heat to medium high and add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally for about 4 minutes. While cooking, sprinkle the nutmeg and the tarragon on the mushrooms.

4 Reduce the heat to low and add the sour cream to the mushrooms. You may want to add a tablespoon or two of water to thin the sauce (or not). Mix in the sour cream thoroughly. Do not let it come to a simmer or boil or the sour cream will curdle. Stir in the beef and shallots. Add salt and pepper to taste.

From the vault

We have just finished up the 2009 Proleague, easily the biggest and most ambitious StarCraft league ever. Everyone who wanted to watch the games were able to, thanks to livestream and youtube. Every day of this league there were live report threads with fancy OPs, and post game discussion.

To some, this is natural. But I am a dinosaur. I am still in awe of how easy this is to follow.

Case in point, here is the entirety of the TL coverage of the 2004 OGN Proleague Finals. Click here to be taken back in time...

No LANs for me

Btw, you could have quoted my post in my my blog about The Automated Ban List for the ban of the week. I bump it when I find something good usually, so it's somewhere to look

I am so lazy - the closest I've gotten to a lan was watching eSTRO's manager Hwanni kicking some ass on CounterStrike and SC at a pc bang when we were working in Ilsan.
