Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound flank steak or hanger steak sliced across the grain 1 inch thick
  • 5 ounces baby bella mushrooms stems discarded
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup dry red wine
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 onion thinly sliced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Buttered fettuccine or egg noodles for serving

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, stir, and transfer to a bowl.
  2. Season steak with salt and pepper and toss with flour.
  3. Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to skillet over medium-high heat. Brown beef on all sides until well-colored, about 10 minutes. Transfer to bowl with mushrooms.
  4. Add wine to skillet and reduce by half while scraping up browned bits, about 2 minutes. Pour into bowl with meat and mushrooms.
  5. Reduce heat to medium, add butter to skillet. Sauté onion and garlic until soft and fragrant, 3-4 minutes.
  6. Return bowl contents to skillet. Add chicken stock and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer until sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
  7. Turn off heat and stir in sour cream, thyme, and parsley.
  8. Serve over buttered fettuccine or egg noodles.

Notes

The quality of beef matters - look for well-marbled flank or hanger steak. Baby bella mushrooms provide deeper flavor than white button mushrooms. While fresh herbs are preferred, you can substitute dried herbs at a 1:3 ratio. The sauce can be thickened with a cornstarch slurry if needed. For variations, try using ribeye, sirloin, or ground beef. Vegetarians can use portobello mushrooms, and dairy-free versions can use coconut cream instead of sour cream.
