Ingredients

1 lb (450g) beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 oz (225g) mushrooms, sliced
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 cup beef broth
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
½ cup sour cream
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Cooked egg noodles or rice, for serving

Directions

Cook the beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef slices, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.
Sauté veggies: In the same skillet, add butter, onion, and garlic. Cook for 2–3 minutes until soft. Add mushrooms and cook until browned and their liquid evaporates.
Make the sauce: Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir for 1 minute. Slowly add beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce and bring to a simmer.
Finish it up: Lower heat, stir in sour cream until smooth. Return beef to the pan and simmer for another 2–3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Serve hot over cooked noodles or rice, garnished with chopped parsley.

Notes

Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter version.
For extra richness, add a splash of heavy cream along with sour cream.
Great with egg noodles, but mashed potatoes or rice work just as well.
