Ingredients

  • 600g beef fillet or rump
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 small onions, sliced
  • 250g Portobello mushrooms
  • 3 small cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Pinch of salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh Thyme, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh Rosemary, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 2 cups beef stock
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or creme fraiche

Instructions

  1. Cut the meat into thin strips about 5cm (about 2 inches) long.
  2. In a large frying pan over high heat, heat the oil until you can see it sizzling – now you know it’s real hot!
  3. Add the meat in 2-3 batches at a time so that it can brown easily. If the oil is very hot, this should only take 60-90 seconds . Once all meat has been browned, remove from the pan and set aside on a plate.
  4. Using the same pan, turn the heat down to medium, add in 2 tablespoons of butter and fry the sliced onion until soft and golden.
  5. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until a rich, beautiful brown color.
  6. Add the garlic, paprika, a pinch of salt and a little freshly cracked black pepper. Cook for 2 minutes.
  7. Add in the soy sauce and herbs and cook for a minute.
  8. Add in the flour and stir for a minute – the pan will start to get dry but we are adding wine in the next step so don’t worry!)
  9. Stir in the wine and cook for another minute or two.
  10. Stir in the beef stock and allow to simmer so that it reduces by half the volume. Stir occasionally.
  11. Take the pan off the heat now. Blend the sour cream/creme fraiche with the mustard and pour into the pan. Stir through.
  12. Add the cooked beef (and any juices on the plate) back into the pan and stir until combined. Simmer for 5 minutes until meat has cooked through.
  13. Garnish with a little sour cream and fresh chives or parsley. Serve with pasta or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
