Equipment

• Large skillet or sauté pan
• Pot for noodles
• Wooden spoon or whisk
• Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

  

• 1 lb beef sirloin or tenderloin thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 medium onion finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 8 oz mushrooms sliced
• 1 tbsp flour
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
• 8 oz egg noodles for serving

Instructions

 

Cook the Beef:

• In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high. Sear beef strips quickly in batches until browned. Remove and set aside.

Cook the Vegetables:

• Add butter to the same pan. Sauté onion and mushrooms until soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds more.

Make the Sauce:

• Sprinkle flour over vegetables; stir to coat. Gradually add beef broth, whisking until smooth. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.

Add Flavor:

• Stir in sour cream, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Add seared beef back in and simmer gently 5 minutes until sauce thickens.

Serve:

• Spoon over cooked egg noodles and top with fresh parsley.

Notes

💡 Don’t boil the sauce after adding sour cream — it can curdle. Simmer gently for a silky texture.

🧊 Leftovers keep 3 days in the fridge; reheat slowly with a splash of broth or cream.
