Beef Stroganoff with Yogurt and Dill

I think I've mentioned before that The All Star likes beef stroganoff. I ran across a recipe for a "healthier" version and thought I'd give it a shot.

Beef Stroganoff with Yogurt and Dill
Classic Comfort Foods Made Healthy
The Line Up
12 oz multigrain noodles
2 TBSP olive oil
1 lb sirloin steak, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and pepper
1 lb button mushrooms, sliced
4 shallots, sliced
1/2 c dry white wine
1/4 c nonfat Greek yogurt
1/4 c chopped fresh dill

The Game Plan
Cook the noodles according to the package directions.
Meanwhile, heat 1 TBPS of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak with 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper.
In 2 batches, cook the steak until browned, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a plate.
Return the skillet to medium heat and add the remaining oil. Add the mushrooms and shallots; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5-6 minutes.
Add the wine and simmer until the liquid has reduced by about half, 2 to 3 minutes.
Return the beef and accumulated juices to the skillet and cook until heated through, 1-2 minutes. Serve over the noodles; top with the yogurt and dil.

Coach's Post Game Conference
I followed the recipe (almost) as written. Only change was that I don't "top" or "garnish" dishes. I either omit or just mix it right in, depending on whether or not I think it will make a difference in the flavor. This I decided definitely needed the yogurt and dill (they are BOTH part of the name of the dish afterall!)
Simple enough recipe with lots of flavor! The All Star even asked to take some of the left overs to school for lunch tomorrow!

Final Score
Coach  - Home Run
Catcher  - Home Run
The All Star - Home Run
