Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454 g) beef sirloin (thinly sliced)
- 8 oz (226 g) mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsps olive oil
- 1 cup (240 ml) beef broth
- 1 cup (240 ml) sour cream
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- salt (to taste)
- black pepper (to taste)
- egg noodles
- mashed potatoes
- rice
- fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
- Searing Protein: Heat olive oil in a spacious skillet over medium-high temperature, caramelizing beef strips for 2-3 minutes per side until developing a rich, golden exterior. Remove meat and set aside.
- Aromatic Base: Reduce heat to medium, sauté onions and garlic in the same skillet until onions become translucent and release their fragrant essence, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Mushroom Integration: Introduce sliced mushrooms, allowing them to release moisture and transform into a golden-brown delicacy while stirring intermittently for 4-5 minutes.
- Sauce Development: Reintroduce seared beef strips, pour beef broth and Dijon mustard into the skillet, creating a robust sauce. Simmer gently for 4-5 minutes, allowing liquid to condense and concentrate flavors.
- Creamy Transformation: Remove skillet from heat, gently fold in sour cream to achieve a silky, luxurious texture without compromising the sauce’s integrity.
- Seasoning and Presentation: Enhance with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve atop steamed white rice, egg noodles, or roasted potatoes, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant, herbaceous finish.
Notes
- Sear Like a Pro: Get your skillet scorching hot before adding beef to achieve that perfect golden-brown caramelization, which locks in incredible flavor and creates a restaurant-quality crust.
- Prevent Sauce Splitting: Remove skillet from heat before adding sour cream to avoid curdling, gently folding it in for a silky, smooth sauce that coats every bite.
- Mushroom Magic: Use fresh mushrooms and don’t overcrowd the pan, allowing them to release moisture and develop deep, rich color for maximum umami depth.
- Temperature Control: Adjust heat between steps to ensure each ingredient cooks perfectly without burning, maintaining the dish’s delicate balance of textures and flavors.
