Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound beef sirloin or tenderloin Cut into thin strips. (Substitute with chicken or mushrooms for a lighter option.)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For sautéing. (Can be replaced with butter for a richer taste.)
  • 1 medium onion Finely chopped. (Shallots can be used for a milder flavor.)
  • 2 cloves garlic Minced, for added depth.
  • 8 ounces mushrooms Sliced. (Try using canned mushrooms for convenience, though fresh brings more flavor.)
  • 1 tablespoon flour For thickening. (Cornstarch works as a gluten-free alternative.)
  • 1 cup beef broth Adds richness. (Vegetable broth can be a lighter substitute.)
  • 1 cup sour cream For creaminess. (Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt offers a healthy twist.)
  • Salt and pepper To taste.
  • Fresh parsley Finely chopped, for garnish.

Method
 

  1. Sauté the beef strips in olive oil until browned, then set aside.
  2. Sauté onions and garlic until translucent.
  3. Add mushrooms and cook until browned and tender.
  4. Stir in flour, then gradually add beef broth, stirring to thicken.
  5. Add sour cream, stir to combine, and heat through without boiling.
  6. Return beef to the skillet, combine, and season. Serve hot with parsley garnish.

Notes

For a healthier option, substitute beef with chicken or mushrooms and use low-sodium broth.
