1. Cut beef into thin strips (it's easier if meat is partially frozen), sprinkle freely with salt and pepper, and let stand, covered, for 2 hours in a cool place. 2. Make a roux by blending flour with 3 T melted butter until mixture bubbles and is smooth. 3. Using a whisk, gradually blend in beef stock and cook until mixture begins to thicken. 4. Cook for 5 minutes, then add sour cream alternately with tomato juice or paste, stirring constantly. 5. Simmer very gently, without boiling, for 1 minute. 6. Brown beef in remaining 3 T butter with grated onion. 7. When the meat is browned, pour the meat, onion, and butter into the sauce. 8. Taste for seasoning and simmer very gently or cook in a double boiler over hot water for 20 minutes. 9. This is very good served over buttered noodles. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
