Description
A classic Russian-inspired comfort food dish made with tender strips of beef in a rich, creamy mushroom sauce, served over egg noodles or rice.
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin or tenderloin, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup sour cream
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 12 oz egg noodles (or rice, for serving)
Instructions
- Cook egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- Season beef slices with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear beef quickly for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté onions and mushrooms until softened. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir for 1 minute to create a roux.
- Gradually pour in beef broth, stirring until sauce thickens slightly. Add Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard.
- Reduce heat to low, stir in sour cream, and return beef to the skillet. Cook gently for 2-3 minutes without boiling, until heated through.
- Serve over egg noodles or rice, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
- Do not overcook the beef; sear quickly to keep it tender.
- Greek yogurt can be substituted for sour cream for a lighter option.
- Best served immediately to maintain the creamy texture.
