Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin or tenderloin, thinly sliced against the grain
- 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt as a substitute)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the beef by seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Sauté the onions in a skillet with oil over medium-high heat until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Cook the beef in the skillet over high heat for about 2-3 minutes until browned, then remove and set aside.
- Sauté the mushrooms in the same skillet for about 5 minutes, then add garlic and cook another minute.
- Make the sauce by sprinkling the flour over the mushrooms, stirring for 1 minute, then gradually whisking in the beef broth and bringing to a simmer.
- Combine the beef back into the skillet with mustard and sour cream, stirring until well combined.
- Serve hot over your choice of noodles, rice, or potatoes.
Notes
Slice beef against the grain for tenderness. Fresh mushrooms provide better flavor than canned.
