  • 1 lb top sirloin steak thinly sliced into strips
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 0.5 medium onion finely chopped
  • 0.5 lb brown mushrooms thickly sliced
  • 1 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 0.75 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  • Sear thinly sliced beef in a large pan with hot olive oil for 1 minute per side until browned, working in batches. Remove beef to a plate and cover.
  • Add butter, chopped onion, and sliced mushrooms to the pan. Sauté for 6-8 minutes until liquid evaporates and vegetables are soft and lightly browned.
  • Stir in minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add flour and cook for another minute, stirring constantly.
  • Pour in beef broth and whipping cream, scraping the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
  • Temper the sour cream by mixing a few tablespoons of sauce into it, then add it to the pan while stirring constantly to prevent curdling.
  • Stir in Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper; continue to simmer until the sauce is creamy. Return the beef and its juices to the pan and heat through.

Notes

Serve immediately over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
