2 cups mushrooms (button, cremini, or baby bella), sliced
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp mustard powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Season the steak with salt and pepper, and cook in a large skillet over medium heat until browned. Remove and set aside.

In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté onions until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
-
Add mushrooms and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
-
Return the beef to the pan, then pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer.
-
Remove some sauce into a measuring cup, stir in flour or cornstarch, then whisk back into the skillet.
-
Add thyme, mustard powder, and stir occasionally. Simmer for 20-30 minutes until the sauce thickens.
-
Stir in sour cream and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve over pasta, rice, or potatoes.
Notes
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop over low heat, adding more beef broth if necessary.
Ground Beef: Replace steak with ground beef for a more affordable version.
Creamy Twist: Substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt or cream cheese for a different flavor.
