BEEF STROGANOFF FOR ONE

1/2 lb beef chuck steak or roast
1 tbsp butter or margarine, divided use
1/2 tbsp salad oil
1/8 lb mushrooms, sliced

1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Discard bone and fat from meat and cut into thin, bite-size strips. Set aside.

Heat 1/2 tbsp of the butter with the oil in frying pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onion and cook, stirring until golden. Lift out and set aside.
