  • 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup sour cream Can substitute with Greek yogurt.

Preparation
  1. Cut the beef into thin strips against the grain, season with salt and pepper, and lightly dredge in flour.
  2. Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cooking
  1. Add the sliced mushrooms and onions, and sauté until soft and golden brown.
  2. Push vegetables to the sides, add beef strips to the center, and sear until browned.
  3. Stir in garlic for about a minute until fragrant, then add beef broth and Dijon mustard.
  4. Allow to simmer gently to meld flavors and reduce slightly.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream, adjusting seasoning with salt and pepper.

Notes

For a spicier dish, add a dash of paprika. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days, and freeze for up to 3 months without sour cream.
