Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin, sliced into strips
- 250 grams cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 unit onion, thinly sliced
- 250 milliliters low sodium beef broth
- 120 milliliters white wine
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the garlic and onion, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the beef strips to the pan. Sear until browned on all sides but not fully cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove beef from the pan and set aside.
Step 4
In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the sliced mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms are tender and golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in the paprika, and black pepper, and then pour in the white wine. Let it simmer until the wine reduces by half, about 3 minutes.
Step 6
Add the low sodium beef broth to the pan and return the beef to the pan as well.
Step 7
Mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry and add it to the pan. Stir well to combine and thicken the sauce.
Step 8
Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and cook until the beef is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, about 10-15 minutes.
Step 9
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm over your choice of side, such as rice or boiled potatoes.
