Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon canola oil
  • 2 pounds of thinly sliced top sirloin
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 thinly sliced white or yellow onion
  • 2 cups each sliced cremini and button mushrooms
  • 3-4 finely minced cloves of garlic
  • 1/3 cup brandy
  • 3 cups beef stock
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon coarse ground mustard
  • 1 ½ cups sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley + more for garnish
  • 1- pound wide egg noodles boiled and cooked
  • sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Add some oil to a large pan or pot over medium-high heat and cook the beef until lightly browned, which takes 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside on a plate.
  • Add butter to the pan and cook the onions and mushrooms until caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Add in the garlic and saute for 1 to 2 minutes before putting the beef back in the pan.
  • Deglaze with brandy and cook until it’s almost gone.
  • Pour in the beef stock and add in the bay leaves and mustard and cook on medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes.
  • Finish with sour cream, salt, pepper, and parsley.
  • Toss with noodles and garnish with extra parsley.

Notes

Chef Notes:
• In my personal opinion, the addition of caramelized mushrooms and onions elevates the recipe bringing out more umami delicious flavor in addition to only having beef in it.
• It’s important that the pan or pot be large to help caramelize all of the different ingredients which will require a lot of surface area.
• Spread the beef across the entire pan to ensure you get a sear on each piece.
• The brandy should evaporate and incorporate into the ingredients in the pan.
• The beef stock should be reduced to about ¼ cup to ½ cup before adding in the final ingredients.
