Ingredients

• 500 grams Beef sirloin or chuck, sliced into thin strips
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 250 grams White mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Beef broth, low sodium
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef strips with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the beef strips in a single layer and sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining beef, adding more oil if needed. Set the seared beef aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and turn golden brown.

Step 5

Pour in the beef broth to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.

Step 6

Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Allow the sauce to come to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Return the seared beef strips to the skillet and let them cook in the sauce for 5-7 minutes, ensuring they are fully coated and warmed through.

Step 8

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped thyme if desired and serve immediately. This dish pairs well with steamed low-carb vegetables like broccoli or cauliflower mash.
