Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 lb beef sirloin or tenderloin, thinly sliced into strips
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)
- 1 tablespoon flour (for thickening)
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
- Cooked egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes (for serving)
Instructions
- Sear the Beef:
- Season beef strips with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear beef in batches until browned (about 1–2 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
- Cook the Veggies:
- Add remaining oil to the skillet. Sauté onions and mushrooms until golden, about 5–6 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Make the Sauce:
- Sprinkle flour over the veggies, stir to coat. Gradually pour in beef broth, stirring constantly. Add mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Finish with Cream:
- Lower heat and stir in sour cream until smooth. Return beef to the pan and heat through (do not boil). Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Serve:
- Spoon over noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- Don’t overcook the beef – quick searing keeps it tender.
- Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter version.
- Can be made with ground beef for a budget-friendly twist.
