Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin, cut into thin strips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1 cup sour cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the beef: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the aromatics: In the same skillet, add onions and garlic. Sauté for 2 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
- Add the mushrooms: Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes until they are soft and any liquid has evaporated.
- Create the sauce: Pour in the beef broth and add Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard. Stir to combine, letting it simmer for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Finish with sour cream: Reduce the heat to low, then return the beef to the skillet. Stir in the sour cream and mix until the sauce is well combined and heated through (do not boil).
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.
Notes
For a lighter dish, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt. Adjust thickness with cornstarch if necessary.
