Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 300–400g beef strips (sirloin or tenderloin)
- 200g button or cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup sour cream (room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour/cornstarch for gluten-free option)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon oil (e.g., vegetable or olive oil)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Egg noodles or rice, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the beef into thin strips for quick cooking and tender bites. Clean and evenly slice the mushrooms. Mince the garlic and finely chop the onions.
- Sear the Beef: Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season beef strips lightly with salt and pepper and cook until browned but not fully done, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside to prevent overcooking.
- Sauté Onions, Garlic, and Mushrooms: In the same pan, add more butter if needed. Sauté onions until translucent. Add garlic and mushrooms and cook until mushrooms release juices and soften, about 5 minutes.
- Make the Sauce: Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute to remove raw flour taste. Slowly whisk in beef broth to avoid lumps. Simmer sauce, stirring occasionally, until it thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
- Finish with Beef and Sour Cream: Return beef to the pan and stir to combine. Reduce heat to low and fold in sour cream and paprika. Heat gently without boiling to keep sauce creamy and prevent sour cream from breaking.
Notes
- Thinly slice beef to ensure quick and tender cooking.
- Use room temperature sour cream to avoid curdling when mixing with hot sauce.
- Do not overcrowd the pan; sear beef in batches to get a nice brown crust.
- Simmer the sauce gently after adding sour cream to prevent separation.
- Fresh mushrooms provide the best flavor and texture.
