Step 1

Use your fist, rolling pin, or mallet to flatten the steaks to about 3/4cm / 1/3" thick. Slice into 1/5" strips (cut long ones in half), discarding excess fat.

Step 2

Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 3

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over high heat. Scatter half the beef in the skillet, QUICKLY spread it with tongs. Leave untouched for 30 seconds until browned. Turn beef quickly (as best you can!). Leave untouched for 30 seconds to brown. Immediately remove onto a plate. Don't worry about pink bits and that it will be raw inside.

Step 4

Add remaining 1 tbsp oil and repeat with remaining beef.

Step 5

Turn heat down to medium high. Add butter, melt. Then add onions, cook for 1 minute, then add mushrooms.

Step 6

Cook mushrooms until golden. Scrape bottom of fry pan to get all the golden bits off (this is flavor!).

Step 7

Add flour, cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

Step 8

Add half the broth while stirring. Once incorporated, add remaining broth.

Step 9

Stir, then add sour cream and mustard. Stir until incorporated (don't worry if it looks split, sour cream will "melt" as it heats).

Step 10

Bring to simmer ,then reduce heat to medium low. Once it thickens to the consistency of pouring cream (3 - 5 minutes), adjust salt and pepper to taste.

Step 11

Add beef back in (including plate juices). Simmer for 1 minute, then remove from stove immediately. (Note 4)

Step 12

Serve over pasta or egg noodles
