Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs beef (tenderloin, sirloin, or chuck roast), sliced into thin strips
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter, divided
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups unsalted beef broth, divided
- 2 tbsp cornstarch OR 3 tbsp gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp salt, or to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper, or to taste
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional)
- ¾ cup full-fat sour cream
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
- Gluten-free egg noodles or your preferred accompaniment, for serving
Instructions
- 1. Prepare Ingredients: Slice beef and vegetables. Prepare cornstarch slurry (if using) by whisking cornstarch with ½ cup cold beef broth.
- 2. Sear Beef: Heat 1 tbsp oil/butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear beef in batches until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
- 3. Sauté Vegetables: Add remaining 1 tbsp oil/butter to skillet. Sauté chopped onion for 5-7 mins until translucent. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-8 mins until browned. Stir in minced garlic for 1 minute.
- 4. Deglaze & Build Sauce: Pour in ½ cup beef broth, scraping up browned bits. Whisk in the cornstarch slurry (or gluten-free flour directly into the pan if making a roux with fat previously for flour before adding broth) and remaining 1 cup of beef broth. Stir until slightly thickened. Stir in paprika, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard (if using).
- 5. Simmer Beef: Return seared beef and juices to the pan. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10-20 minutes (or longer for chuck roast) until beef is tender.
- 6. Finish with Sour Cream: Remove skillet from heat. Let cool for 1-2 minutes. Stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- 7. Serve: Serve hot over gluten-free noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
