Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Beef: Remove any excess fat and gristle from the beef chuck roast. Cut the roast into strips approximately 1/2-inch thick and 2-inches long. Season the beef strips with salt and black pepper. Set aside. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

02

Step

Sauté Mushrooms and Onions: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and green onions to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are nicely browned and softened. Transfer the mushroom mixture to a bowl and set aside. (Cook time: 6 minutes)

03

Step

Brown the Beef: Add beef strips to the same skillet in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook and stir until the beef is browned on all sides. Transfer the browned beef to a separate bowl. (Cook time: 10 minutes)

04

Step

Create the Sauce: Pour the white wine into the hot skillet to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. This adds depth of flavor to the sauce. (Cook time: 2 minutes)

05

Step

Thicken and Simmer: In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine 1/4 cup of the beef broth with the all-purpose flour. Shake vigorously until the mixture is smooth and lump-free. Pour the flour mixture into the skillet, whisking constantly until the sauce is smooth. Stir in the remaining beef broth and prepared mustard. Return the browned beef strips to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and simmer gently until the beef strips are tender. (Simmer time: 1 hour)

06

Step

Finish and Serve: Stir the sautéed mushroom mixture and light sour cream into the skillet. Heat through, stirring gently, until everything is well combined and heated through. Be careful not to boil the sauce after adding the sour cream. Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot over whole wheat noodles.

For an even healthier option, consider using whole wheat flour or a cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce.
If you don't have white wine on hand, you can substitute with additional beef broth and a tablespoon of lemon juice for acidity.
Feel free to add a clove of minced garlic when sautéing the mushrooms for extra flavor.
Serve with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for added freshness and visual appeal.
