Instructions

1. Cook the beef:

1. Season beef with salt and pepper. Optionally dredge in flour for a thicker sauce.

2. Heat oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

3. Sear beef strips quickly (about 1–2 minutes per side) until browned but not fully cooked. Remove and set aside.

2. Cook the vegetables:

1. In the same skillet, add onions and cook 3–4 minutes until softened.

2. Add garlic and mushrooms; sauté until mushrooms release moisture and start to brown (5–7 minutes).

---

3. Make the sauce:

1. Stir in beef broth, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.

2. Bring to a simmer and let cook 3–5 minutes to slightly thicken.

---

4. Combine beef and sauce:

1. Return beef (and any juices) to the pan. Stir to combine.

2. Lower heat, remove from heat, and stir in sour cream (avoid boiling once sour cream is added to prevent curdling).

3. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

5. Serve:

• Spoon over cooked egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.

• Garnish with chopped parsley.

💡 Tips & Variations:

• For extra richness, swirl in 1–2 tbsp butter at the end.

• Add a splash of white wine to the sauce for depth.

• Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter version.
