Cut the beef into 1/2 inch strips; put in a plastic bag with 3 tb of flour
and the salt. Shake until the meat is evenly coated. In a heavy skillet or
Dutch oven, heat oil; add the meat strips and brown slowly, stirring often.
Add the onion, garlic, Coca-Cola and 1/4 cup of water; mix well. Cover
andsimmer for 30 to 45 minutes or until the meat is fork tender. In a bowl,
mix the 2 tb of flour with the 1/2 cup of water until smooth. Stir into the
meat along with the Worcestershire sauce and the undrained mushrooms. Stir
and cook until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. (If making ahead for reheating
later, do not add the sour cream now. Reheat, then complete the recipe
directions.) Stir in the sour cream and heat gently just until the gravy
simmers. Sprinkle with parsley and serve over mashed potatoes, noodles or
rice. From: "International Cooking with Coca-Cola", a give away pamphlet
