Steps

Prepare the Beef

Pat the beef strips dry with paper towels, then season generously with salt and pepper. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat 1 tbsp of butter or oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until nicely browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Sauté Vegetables

Add another 1 tbsp of butter or oil to the skillet if needed. Add the chopped yellow onion and sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic, then cook for another 5-8 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and their liquid has evaporated.

Make the Sauce

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook off the raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in the beef broth, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Stir in the Dijon mustard and chopped gherkins. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and let it gently bubble for 5 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.

Combine and Serve

Return the seared beef to the skillet with the sauce. Stir in the sour cream and heat gently, but do not boil, as the sour cream may curdle. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chopped parsley, alongside wide egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Extra Tips

► To make slicing the beef easier, place it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes before cutting into thin strips.

► Avoid overcooking the beef, as it can become tough; quick searing and a short simmer are key to tender results.

► Adjust the sauce's thickness by varying the amount of flour or by adding a little more broth if it becomes too thick.
