Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Sauce

  • 1 pound Top sirloin steak, thinly sliced into strips
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for searing)
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for sauce)
  • 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
  • 8 ounces Brown mushrooms, thickly sliced
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (for thickening)
  • 1 cup Beef broth (rich foundation)
  • 3/4 cup Heavy whipping cream (for creaminess)
  • 1/4 cup Sour cream (for tangy richness)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (for umami flavor)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard (for sharpness)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt (to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper (to taste)

Garnish

  • 1 tablespoon Green onion or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional

  • 8 ounces Egg noodles (classic pairing for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the beef: Heat a deep pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, place the thinly sliced beef strips in a single layer and cook about 1 minute per side until nicely browned. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside, keeping it warm.
  2. Sauté onions and mushrooms: In the same pan, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Add the finely chopped onion and thickly sliced brown mushrooms. Sauté for 6-8 minutes until the vegetables soften, become golden, and the liquid evaporates.
  3. Add garlic and flour: Stir in the minced garlic clove and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the mixture and cook while stirring constantly for 1 more minute to eliminate the raw flour taste and create a roux.
  4. Deglaze and thicken sauce: Gradually pour in 1 cup of beef broth while scraping up any browned bits stuck to the pan. Stir in 3/4 cup of heavy whipping cream and bring the sauce to a simmer for 1-2 minutes until it begins to slightly thicken.
  5. Incorporate sour cream: Temper the 1/4 cup of sour cream by mixing a few tablespoons of the hot sauce into it gradually. Then, add the sour cream mixture back into the pan, stirring continuously to prevent curdling.
  6. Add seasonings: Stir in 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Let the sauce simmer until everything is creamy and well combined.
  7. Return beef to pan: Add the seared beef strips along with any accumulated juices back into the pan. Bring everything to a gentle simmer to heat the beef through without overcooking.
  8. Serve: Optionally garnish with chopped green onion or parsley for a fresh touch. Serve hot over cooked egg noodles if desired for a classic presentation.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overcook the beef to keep it tender and juicy.
  • Tempering the sour cream prevents it from curdling in the hot sauce.
  • Using top sirloin provides tenderness and great flavor at a reasonable price.
  • Egg noodles are optional but traditional and add a nice texture contrast.
  • For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream and reduce butter.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
