Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 pound steak (such as rib eye, strip, etc.)
  • salt, pepper and paprika to taste
  • 1 onion, diced or sliced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, quartered or sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dry thyme)
  • 2 teaspoons paprika*
  • 2 tablespoons flour (or rice flour)
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons fish sauce (or soy sauce or tamari)
  • 2 teaspoons dried dill (optional)*
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oil and butter in a large pan over medium-high heat, add the steak and cook until lightly browned, about 2-4 minutes per side (or the desired level of doneness), before setting aside.

Add the onion and mushroom and cook until the mushrooms have released their liquids, the liquids have cooked off and the mushroom start to caramelize and turn light golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.

Add the garlic and thyme, sprinkle on the flour and cook until fragrant, about a minute.

Add the broth and deglaze the pan by scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan into the sauce with a wooden spoon.

Add the mustard, Worcestershire sauce, fish sauce, and dill and simmer until the sauce thickens a bit, about 2-3 minutes, before removing from heat and mixing in the sour cream and seasoning with salt and pepper.

Slice the steak and serve it on top of the sauce on a plate full of egg noodles!

Option: Make this a one-pan meal by adding 8 ounces of pasta and 2 1/4 cups beef broth (or 1 cup of rice and 2 cups beef broth) to the sauce in step 5 and simmer, covered, until cooked, about 12 minutes (or 20 minutes for rice).

Option: Start by cooking 4 strips bacon cut into 1 inch pieces and use the bacon grease to cook the steak and veggies in instead of oil and butter adding the bacon back into the sauce near the end!

Option: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic for a bit of heat.

Option: Add small/baby/pearl onions in addition to the diced onion for even more onion flavor!

Option: Add 1 tablespoon tomato paste to the sauce.

Option: Add 1/2 cup grated parmigiana reggiano (Parmesan cheese) for an even more flavorful sauce!
