Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) beef sirloin or tenderloin strips, sliced thinly against the grain
  • 8 ounces (225g) fresh cremini or white button mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup (240ml) beef broth, preferably low sodium
  • ¾ cup (180ml) full-fat sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • A handful fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Slice 1 pound (450g) of beef sirloin into thin strips against the grain. Clean and slice 8 ounces (225g) of mushrooms. Finely chop 1 medium yellow onion and mince 2 garlic cloves. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips in a single layer and sear for about 2 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked. Remove beef and set aside.
  3. Reduce heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the same skillet. Add chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent and slightly golden. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes until browned, stirring occasionally.
  4. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour over the mixture and stir well to coat evenly.
  5. Slowly pour in 1 cup (240ml) beef broth while stirring to scrape up browned bits. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Return seared beef strips to the skillet with any juices. Stir in ¾ cup (180ml) full-fat sour cream and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard. Mix gently to coat beef and mushrooms with creamy sauce. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3-5 minutes until beef is tender and sauce is creamy. Avoid boiling to prevent sour cream from curdling.
  8. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top and serve immediately over buttered egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Notes

For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with cornstarch or gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, use coconut cream or vegan sour cream and replace butter with olive oil. Avoid boiling after adding sour cream to prevent curdling. If sauce is too thick, add more beef broth; if too thin, simmer longer. Do not overcrowd pan when searing beef to ensure proper browning.
