Instructions

  1. Begin by slicing the beef sirloin into thin strips, setting them aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the beef strips, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  4. Sear the beef until it’s browned on all sides, which will take around 4-5 minutes.
  5. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
  6. In the same skillet, add more butter if needed and sauté the onions until they turn translucent.
  7. Incorporate the mushrooms and garlic, cooking until they release their moisture.
  8. Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom and onion mixture, stirring well to coat.
  9. Slowly pour in the beef broth, stirring continuously to ensure a smooth mixture.
  10. Allow the mixture to come to a simmer, then reintroduce the beef.
  11. Add Worcestershire sauce and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
  12. Turn down the heat and stir in the sour cream until the sauce is creamy.
  13. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  14. Serve over cooked egg noodles and garnish with chopped parsley.

Tips

  1. For a thicker sauce, consider adding more flour, but ensure it’s well mixed to avoid clumps.
  2. Opt for a lean cut of beef to make it healthier.
  3. You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a tangier taste and fewer calories.
  4. Always let the beef come to room temperature before cooking; this helps in even cooking.
