Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms
- 1 medium onion
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp dried dill
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Slice 1 lb beef sirloin against the grain into 1/4-inch thick strips. Season with 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- Step 2: Slice 1 medium onion and 8 oz cremini mushrooms. Melt 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Step 3: Add beef strips to the skillet in a single layer and sear for 2 minutes per side until browned — do not overcrowd the pan.
- Step 4: Remove beef and set aside. Add mushrooms and onions to the same skillet, stirring to coat in butter. Cook for 5-6 minutes until mushrooms release liquid and are golden brown.
- Step 5: Sprinkle 2 tbsp all-purpose flour over the mushrooms and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook out raw flour taste.
- Step 6: Slowly whisk in 1 cup heavy cream and 1 tbsp dijon mustard until smooth. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Step 7: Return beef to the skillet, add 1 tsp dried dill, and simmer for 2 more minutes until heated through.
