Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by cutting tender beef strips against the grain, ensuring they are thin. Season with salt and pepper, then lightly dredge in flour.
  2. In a large skillet, melt unsalted butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and chopped onions; cook for 5-7 minutes until soft and golden.
  3. Push cooked vegetables to the sides of the skillet. Increase heat slightly, add beef strips, and sear for 2-3 minutes until browned.
  4. Stir in minced garlic, cooking until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in beef broth and add Dijon mustard. Bring to a simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and gradually stir in sour cream until smooth. Avoid boiling to prevent curdling.
  6. Serve over buttered egg noodles or mashed potatoes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives.
