Ingredients
 
 

  • 12 ounces egg noodles
  • 1 pound top sirloin steak thinly sliced
  • ¼ tsp salt salt your beef before frying
  • ¼ tsp black pepper optional but I added to beef before cooking
  • 3 tbsp avocado oil or high smoke point oil
  • 8 ounces mushrooms sliced I used cremini
  • ½ medium yellow onion sliced or white onion
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves crushed
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • cups beef broth
  • 1/2 cup crème fraîche if using sour cream, make sure to temper it with some of your warm gravy so it doesn’t curdle. See notes in recipe card.
  • 1 tbsp Boursin cheese optional
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • Chopped fresh chives for serving

Instructions
 

  • Thinly slice your beef into 1/3" strips. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

  • Slice your mushroom a little under 1/2" slices. I like the mushrooms to come through in the gravy.

  • Heat your high smoke point oil on high heat for 3-4 minutes. You want your oil to be nice and hot so you get a nice sear on your steak. Add in your beef in two batches. Quickly spread the beef out and cook untouched for 30 seconds.

  • Flip over and sear for another 30 seconds. Don't cook it longer than 30 seconds or you will get chewy beef. It's ok if there are some pink spots. It will finish cooking in the sauce. Remove your beef and set aside.
