Ingredients
  

For the beef and sauce

  • 600 g beef sirloin or tenderloin thinly sliced into strips
  • 1 medium onion finely sliced
  • 200 g white mushrooms sliced
  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp sunflower oil
  • 150 ml beef stock
  • 200 ml full fat sour cream
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard optional but traditional
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For serving

  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
  • Buttered egg noodles mashed potatoes or rice

Instructions
 

  • To begin, pat the beef strips dry with kitchen paper. Lightly season with salt and black pepper, then dust with flour to coat evenly. This step helps with browning and sauce thickening. Move on to sautéing.
  • In a heavy skillet over medium to high heat, heat 1 tbsp oil and 1 tbsp butter. Sear the beef strips in batches for 1–2 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Set aside and keep warm. Transition to cooking vegetables.
  • In the same pan, add the remaining butter and oil. Sauté onions until soft and translucent, then add mushrooms and cook until golden and reduced. Season with paprika and stir well. Proceed to deglazing.
  • Pour in the beef stock, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes to concentrate the flavour. Transition to adding sour cream.
  • Reduce heat to low. Stir in sour cream and mustard, mixing until smooth and creamy. Avoid boiling the sauce to prevent curdling. Taste and adjust seasoning. Move to reheating the beef.
  • Return the browned beef (with any juices) to the pan. Simmer gently for 3–5 minutes until the beef is just cooked through and the sauce thickens. Do not overcook. Get ready to garnish and serve.
  • Serve hot over buttered egg noodles, mashed potatoes or rice. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for colour and freshness. Presentation tip: Use a wide shallow dish to let the sauce pool naturally.
