Description
A classic creamy beef and mushroom dish with a rich sour cream sauce — the ultimate comfort food served over noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.
Ingredients
For the Beef:
- 1 lb beef sirloin or tenderloin, thinly sliced into strips
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
For the Mushroom Sauce:
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 12 oz mushrooms (cremini or button), sliced
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- ½ cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for lighter option)
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Cooked egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef: Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef strips, season with salt and pepper, and sear quickly until just browned. Remove and set aside.
- Make the Mushroom Sauce: In the same skillet, add onion, garlic, and mushrooms. Cook until softened and browned. Sprinkle flour over vegetables, stir well, and cook for 1–2 minutes.
- Simmer and Finish: Slowly whisk in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Simmer until slightly thickened. Return beef to the skillet, reduce heat, and stir in sour cream. Warm through but do not boil.
- Serve: Taste, adjust seasoning if needed, and serve hot over noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For extra richness, add a splash of heavy cream along with the sour cream.
- Can be made with ground beef instead of strips for a budget-friendly version.
- Use gluten-free flour and tamari instead of Worcestershire for a GF option.
