Ingredients

• Chuck or sirloin steak, 1.5 pounds, fat trimmed and sliced into ¼-inch-thick strips
• Kosher salt, 2 teaspoons, divided
• Extra-virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons
• Unsalted butter, 4 tablespoons
• Medium yellow onion, 1, diced
• White or cremini mushrooms, 1 pound, sliced
• Garlic clove, 2, minced
• Flour, 0.24 cup
• Beef stock, 2 cups
• Fresh thyme, 1 tablespoon, minced
• Freshly cracked black pepper, 0.25 teaspoon
• Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon
• Sour cream, 0.5 cup
• Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon
• For serving: Cooked pasta or mashed potatoes for serving
• For serving: Finely chopped fresh parsley

Cooking Directions

1. Season the beef pieces all over with 1½ teaspoons of the salt.
2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Working in small batches, add the beef and cook, undisturbed, until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining beef, adding remaining olive oil as needed.
3. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the same skillet. Once the butter has melted, add the onion and mushrooms and cook until the onion softens and the mushrooms are starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, for 1 more minute.
4. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Slowly pour in the beef broth and stir until fully incorporated. Add the thyme, remaining ½ teaspoon salt and pepper and simmer, stirring often, until the mixture is starting to thicken, about 5 minutes. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, sour cream and Dijon mustard, until the sauce is combined. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Return the meat to the skillet and toss until fully coated.
5. Serve over pasta of your choice or mashed potatoes and sprinkle with parsley, if using.
