Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) beef sirloin or ribeye, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz (225 g) cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup (240 ml) beef broth, low sodium preferred
  • 1 cup (240 ml) sour cream, full fat
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
  • Egg noodles or wide pasta, cooked according to package instructions

Instructions

  1. Pat the beef slices dry with paper towels to avoid steaming. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onions and cook for 4–5 minutes until soft and translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add sliced mushrooms to the pan. Stir occasionally, letting the mushrooms release their juices and brown slightly, about 6–7 minutes.
  4. Push the mushroom mixture to one side. Add the remaining oil or butter to the empty side and increase heat to medium-high. Add beef slices in a single layer (in batches if needed). Sear for 1–2 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked. Remove beef and set aside.
  5. Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and onions in the pan, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Slowly pour in beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer until sauce thickens.
  6. Lower heat to medium-low. Stir in sour cream and Dijon mustard until smooth. Return beef to the pan and cook for 3–4 minutes until beef is tender and sauce is heated through. Avoid boiling.
  7. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot over cooked egg noodles or pasta.

Notes

If sauce is too thick, add a splash of broth or water to loosen. Dry beef slices before browning to get a good crust. Avoid boiling after adding sour cream to prevent curdling. For gluten-free, substitute flour with cornstarch or gluten-free flour. For dairy-free, use coconut yogurt or cashew cream instead of sour cream.
