Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 pounds beef round, cut into thin strips Top round or eye of round work well; slice against the grain for tenderness.
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour Plus extra if your beef is very wet.
  • 2 tablespoons butter Or 1 tbsp butter + 1 tbsp oil for higher smoke point.
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 0.5 pound mushrooms, thinly sliced White button or cremini.
  • 1 can (10 oz) beef broth
  • 0.5 cup water Add more as needed to reach desired sauce consistency.
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt Adjust to taste.
  • 1 container (8 oz) sour cream

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the beef strips dry with paper towels and toss them in the flour, shaking off the excess.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Add the beef in a single layer, browning each strip for 30–60 seconds per side. Remove the beef and cover it loosely.
  3. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until the onion is translucent and the mushrooms have softened, about 5–7 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Pour in the beef broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up the browned bits. Bring to a simmer and let reduce for 4–6 minutes.
  2. Add water gradually until the sauce reaches your desired thickness. Stir in salt and adjust seasoning.
  3. Return the browned beef and any accumulated juices to the skillet, warming through for 1–2 minutes.
  4. Scoop a few tablespoons of the hot sauce into a small bowl and whisk with the sour cream to temper it. Stir the tempered sour cream into the skillet until combined.
Serving
  1. Serve immediately over wide egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or cauliflower rice with a sprinkle of parsley.

Notes

For a lighter sauce, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, and remove from heat before adding to avoid curdling. Substitute potato starch or gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version. Store in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days in the fridge or freeze for 2 months.
