Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450 grams) beef sirloin or tenderloin, thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups (360 ml) beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ cup (120 ml) sour cream
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Slice 1 pound (450 grams) of beef sirloin into thin strips, about ¼ inch thick. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove the beef and set aside.
  3. Reduce heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons unsalted butter to the same skillet. Add 1 medium chopped yellow onion and 8 ounces (225 grams) sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and starting to brown. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
  5. Slowly pour in 1 ½ cups (360 ml) beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard and stir to combine. Let the sauce simmer gently until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Return the seared beef along with any juices to the skillet. Stir gently to coat the meat in the sauce. Cook for another 3-4 minutes on low heat until beef is cooked through but still tender.
  7. Remove the skillet from heat and let it cool for a minute. Stir in ½ cup (120 ml) sour cream until fully incorporated. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  8. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Notes

Do not crowd the pan when browning beef to ensure caramelization. Add sour cream off the heat to prevent curdling. If sauce is too thick, loosen with a splash of beef broth or water. Use fresh mushrooms for best texture. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blend or cornstarch slurry.
