Beef sirloin or tenderloin
Salt and pepper
Smoked paprika
Olive oil
Unsalted butter
Onion
Garlic
Cremini or button mushrooms
Worcestershire sauce
Dijon mustard
Beef stock
Sour cream
Lemon juice (optional)
Fresh parsley
Egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes for serving
Prepare the Beef: Season thinly sliced beef with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
Sear the Beef: Heat a skillet over high heat. Sear the beef strips for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
Cook the Vegetables: In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté chopped onions until soft. Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until mushrooms are golden brown.
Make the Sauce: Stir in Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard, scraping up any browned bits. Pour in beef stock and simmer until slightly reduced.
Combine: Lower the heat and stir in sour cream (and lemon juice if using). Return the beef to the skillet, stirring to coat in the sauce. Simmer until heated through.
Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.
For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
If you prefer a vegetarian option, substitute the beef with portobello mushrooms.
To make it dairy-free, replace the sour cream with coconut cream.
For an extra creamy touch, add a splash of heavy cream.
