Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound beef sirloin or tenderloin, thinly sliced into strips
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces white button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup beef broth, preferably low sodium
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 3/4 cup sour cream, full-fat or light
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
- Egg noodles or rice to serve
Instructions
- Prep your ingredients: slice beef into thin strips, clean and slice mushrooms, finely chop onion, and mince garlic.
- Cook egg noodles or your preferred side according to package instructions, drain and toss with a little butter or olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear beef strips in batches until browned but not cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Remove beef and set aside.
- In the same skillet, lower heat to medium and add remaining butter. Sauté onion until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and mushrooms, cook until mushrooms soften and release juices, about 3-4 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle flour over mushroom mixture and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
- Slowly pour in beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer and let thicken for about 2 minutes.
- Stir in Dijon mustard until fully incorporated. Remove skillet from heat and fold in sour cream until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Return seared beef and any juices to the skillet. Stir gently to coat beef with sauce. Warm through on low heat for 1-2 minutes without boiling.
- Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top and serve hot over egg noodles, rice, or preferred side.
Notes
To prevent sour cream from curdling, remove the pan from heat before adding it and avoid boiling after adding sour cream. Sear beef in batches to avoid steaming and ensure a caramelized crust. If sauce is too thick, add a splash of beef broth or water to loosen. For gluten-free, substitute flour with cornstarch or arrowroot powder and use gluten-free noodles or rice.
