Ingredients
- Beef: 500 g (1.1 lbs) beef sirloin or rump steak, thinly sliced 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Vegetables: 1 medium onion, finely chopped 250 g (9 oz) white or cremini mushrooms, sliced 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Sauce: 2 tbsp unsalted butter 2 tbsp olive oil 2 tbsp all-purpose flour 1 cup (240 ml) beef broth 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp Dijon mustard 1 cup (240 ml) sour cream
- To Serve: 250 g (9 oz) egg noodles, cooked according to package instructions 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1:
- Season the sliced beef with salt and pepper.
- Step 2:
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef in batches and sear until browned but still pink inside, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Step 3:
- Add the remaining olive oil and butter to the skillet. Sauté onions for 2 minutes until softened, then add mushrooms and cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Step 4:
- Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir well for 1 minute to cook off raw flavor.
- Step 5:
- Gradually add beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Step 6:
- Lower the heat to low. Stir in sour cream until smooth and warmed through (do not boil). Return the beef and any juices to the pan. Heat gently for 2-3 minutes until beef is just cooked through.
- Step 7:
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Step 8:
- Serve immediately over cooked egg noodles. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
