I thought it was very good. Instead of serving it over egg noodles I mixed it all together even my picky daughter liked it.

Make sure you dont let the sour cream mixture boil or it curdles. Still tastes good though :)

The sauce didn't quite get thick enough; I think a tiny bit more corn starch is needed; or you should just follow the directions to make an actual gravy first instead of just coating the meat with it. Also, I used round steak and it was way too tough for this recipe! I would recommend splurging and getting a nice tender filet, or tenderloin, and slicing it. The only way round steak will be truly tender is if you stew it for 2-3 hours. Recipe may be okay but needs some major tweaks.
