Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Beef sirloin Thinly sliced into strips
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil For browning beef
  • 1 tbsp Butter Adds richness
  • 1 Onion Thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 cup Mushrooms Sliced
  • 1 tbsp All-purpose flour For thickening the sauce
  • 1 cup Beef broth Low sodium preferred
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce For deep savory flavor
  • 1/2 cup Sour cream Full-fat for creaminess
  • to taste Salt & black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Fresh parsley Chopped for garnish
  • 4 cups Cooked egg noodles Or rice

Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet Heavy-bottomed pan works best for even browning
  • 1 Cutting Board For slicing beef and vegetables
  • 1 Chef’s Knife Sharp blade makes prep easier
  • 1 Wooden Spoon Ideal for stirring sauces
  • 1 Pot For boiling egg noodles or rice

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced beef and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until just browned. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, melt butter. Sauté onions until translucent, then add garlic and mushrooms. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir well. Slowly pour in beef broth while whisking to avoid lumps.
  4. Add Worcestershire sauce and simmer until the sauce begins to thicken, about 5 minutes.
  5. Reduce heat to low. Stir in the sour cream until smooth and creamy. Do not boil once sour cream is added.
  6. Return the beef to the skillet and simmer gently for 5 more minutes to heat through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve hot over cooked egg noodles or rice. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes

  • Swap beef sirloin for ground beef to save time and cost.
  • You can freeze leftovers without the noodles for up to 2 months.
  • For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
