Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Mushrooms

  • 8 oz beef sirloin or tenderloin strips
  • 8 oz fresh cremini or white button mushrooms, sliced

Aromatics and Fat

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Sauce Base

  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour (or cornstarch for gluten-free)
  • 1 cup beef broth or stock
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard

Seasoning and Garnish

  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

To Serve

  • Egg noodles or rice, cooked according to package instructions

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the beef into thin, bite-sized strips. Clean and slice the mushrooms evenly. Finely chop the onions and mince the garlic. Having all ingredients prepped ensures smooth cooking.
  2. Sear the Beef: Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef strips in a single layer and cook briefly until browned on all sides but not completely cooked through. Remove beef from skillet and set aside to prevent overcooking.
  3. Cook Mushrooms and Aromatics: In the same skillet, add more butter if needed. Sauté onions and garlic until fragrant and translucent. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until they release moisture and turn golden brown, enhancing the sauce’s flavor.
  4. Make the Sauce: Sprinkle flour over mushrooms, stirring constantly to cook out raw taste. Gradually whisk in beef broth, bringing mixture to a gentle simmer until thickened into a velvety sauce. Stir in sour cream and Dijon mustard for creaminess and tang.
  5. Combine and Finish Cooking: Return seared beef to skillet, stirring gently to coat with sauce. Warm through for a few minutes until beef is tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Choose quality beef cuts like sirloin or tenderloin for the best texture and juiciness.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when searing beef; cook in batches if necessary for proper browning.
  • Use room temperature sour cream to prevent curdling when added to hot sauce.
  • Cook mushrooms thoroughly to deepen flavor and avoid soggy texture in the final dish.
  • Simmer sauce gently after adding sour cream to maintain a creamy consistency without breaking.
