Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 3 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 lb beef tenderloin, sliced into 2-inch-long strips
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 lb Cremini mushroom, sliced 1/2 inch thick (can substitute with white mushrooms)
- 1/2 cup onion, thinly sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme leaves
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook, tossing frequently, until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer to bowl.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and heat the remaining oil and butter in the same skillet. Add mushrooms, onion, garlic, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper, and cook, tossing often, until mushrooms are golden brown and tender, about 6 minutes.
- Add broth, cream, Worcestershire sauce, and bay leaf; mix to combine and bring to a simmer. Cook until reduced, about 6 minutes. Return beef to skillet; cook over medium-low heat until sauce is thick and creamy, 8–10 minutes (see notes). Taste and adjust season with salt and pepper, if necessary. Turn off the heat and whisk in sour cream and mustard; mix until well combined.
- Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley, if desired.
Notes
Store 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator, also freezes fine. Thaw fully then reheat carefully, being sure not to overcook the beef.
Extra Recipe Tips:
- A high-quality, tender cut of beef is critical for the best results.
- When the beef is added to the sauce, DO NOT keep simmering for too long to thicken the sauce because you will overcook the beef.
- You can make the sauce thinner with a touch of water if you want.
- If you notice that the sauce isn't thick enough to your liking, you can add one tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with one tablespoon of cold water. Be sure to mix well to prevent lumps. Add the cornstarch mixture to the sauce (step 3).
- Chicken or Pork can also be used.
