Ingredients
1 ½ lbs beef sirloin or tenderloin, sliced thinly against the grain
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 oz cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (or cornstarch for gluten-free)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 cup beef broth
¾ cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional: ¼ cup white wine or brandy
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Prep the beef: Slice thinly against the grain and season with salt and pepper.
Sear the beef: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear beef in batches for 1–2 minutes per side. Set aside.
Sauté aromatics: Add remaining oil and butter to the same skillet. Cook onions until soft, then add garlic and mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms are browned.
Make the sauce: Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and stir. Slowly pour in beef broth, deglazing the pan. Add Dijon mustard and wine (if using). Simmer to thicken.
Add sour cream: Reduce heat to low. Stir in sour cream until sauce is creamy. Do not boil.
Combine and serve: Return beef and juices to skillet. Warm through, adjust seasoning, and serve over noodles or rice. Garnish with parsley.
Notes
Bring sour cream to room temperature before adding to prevent curdling.
Don’t overcrowd the skillet when searing beef—it needs space to brown.
For extra richness, finish with a splash of heavy cream.
Store leftovers separately from noodles to maintain texture.
Great with mashed potatoes, cauliflower mash, or steamed greens.
