Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 500g beef strips or sirloin, thinly sliced

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 250g fresh mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Dairy & Fats

  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the beef into thin strips for quick cooking. Clean and cut the mushrooms evenly. Mince the garlic finely to maximize flavor release into the sauce.
  2. Sauté the Beef: Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips, season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook for about 3-4 minutes until browned but still tender. Remove the beef and set aside to preserve its juices.
  3. Cook the Mushrooms and Aromatics: In the same pan, add more butter if necessary. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, sauté until fragrant and softened. Add mushrooms and cook until they caramelize and reduce, enhancing their natural earthiness.
  4. Create the Creamy Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring frequently. Allow it to simmer gently with the garlic and mushrooms until the cream thickens to a silky consistency that will cling well to the beef.
  5. Combine and Finish: Return the cooked beef to the pan and toss with the creamy mushroom sauce for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Choose tender beef cuts like sirloin or ribeye to keep the meat juicy.
  • Cook beef in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding and achieve a proper sear.
  • Use fresh minced garlic over pre-minced or powder for better aroma.
  • Keep the cream at a gentle simmer to prevent curdling and maintain smooth sauce texture.
  • Fresh parsley or thyme adds brightness and balances the richness.
  • Leftovers keep well for up to 3 days refrigerated and freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat gently, adding a splash of cream, broth, or water if sauce thickens or separates.
