Ingredients
Scale
Beef:
- 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced (454 grams)
Dairy and Seasoning:
- 1 cup sour cream (240 milliliters)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon flour
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (227 grams)
Cooking Liquids and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup beef broth (240 milliliters)
- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Garnish and Serving:
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Egg noodles, cooked
Instructions
- Warm a skillet with olive oil and butter over medium heat until butter melts and becomes frothy.
- Generously season beef with salt and pepper, then sear each side until a rich golden-brown crust develops, approximately 3-4 minutes. Transfer meat to a separate plate.
- In the same skillet, sauté diced onions and minced garlic until aromatic and translucent, releasing their sweet fragrance.
- Add sliced mushrooms and cook until they release moisture and become tender, developing a deep caramel color.
- Pour beef broth into the skillet, whisking in Dijon mustard for a tangy depth of flavor. Allow mixture to simmer and reduce for 5 minutes, concentrating the sauce’s richness.
- Reduce heat to low and gently fold in sour cream, creating a velvety smooth texture. For enhanced thickness, sprinkle flour and whisk until sauce reaches desired consistency.
- Return seared beef to the skillet, nestling pieces into the creamy sauce. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and beef to warm through.
- Plate over steaming egg noodles and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant finishing touch.
Notes
- Choose high-quality beef cuts like sirloin or tenderloin for maximum tenderness and rich flavor.
- Control the browning temperature to prevent burning and ensure a golden-brown exterior on the meat.
- Use full-fat sour cream for a creamier, more luxurious sauce that coats the noodles perfectly.
- Consider gluten-free alternatives like cornstarch or rice flour if avoiding wheat-based thickeners.
