4 tbsp Unsalted butter

1 lb Mushrooms, sliced
2 tbsp All-purpose flour
1 1/2 tbsp Paprika

Recipe Preparation
Melt half the butter in heavy large deep skillet over medium heat. Add
onions and bell pepper and saut until light golden, about 10
minutes. Add mushrooms and saut until starting to soften, about 5
minutes. Mix in flour and paprika and stir 2 minutes. Mix in stock
and tomato paste. Bring to boil, stirring constantly. Boil until
sauce thickens and paprika flavor mellows, stirring frequently, about
8 minutes. Mix in sour cream. Remove from heat and add dill. Season
to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover
and refrigerate. Bring to simmer before adding beef.)
Melt half of remaining butter in another heavy large skillet over
medium-high heat. Working in batches, add beef, season with salt and
pepper and cook until just brown on each side. Transfer to plate. Add
more butter as needed. When all beef is brown, add to sauce along
with any drippings on plate. Add dry white wine to skillet and bring
to boil, scraping up any browned bits. Boil until syrupy, about 3
minutes. Add to beef. Sprinkle with chopped tomatoes before serving,
if desired.
