Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a bowl, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Lightly coat the beef strips with the mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly covered. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Melt butter in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the beef and sear on all sides until browned. Remove beef from the pan with a slotted spoon, set aside, and keep warm. (Cook time: 10 minutes)

03

Step

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, approximately 8-10 minutes.

04

Step

Pour in the water and scrape the bottom of the pan to deglaze, lifting any browned bits. Stir in the condensed cream of chicken soup. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.

05

Step

Return the beef to the pan and stir to combine with the sauce. Heat through, being careful not to boil. (Cook time: 5 minutes)

06

Step

Remove the pan from the heat and gently stir in the sour cream until well combined. Serve immediately over cooked egg noodles or rice.

For a richer flavor, consider using beef broth instead of water when deglazing the pan.
Ensure your sour cream is at room temperature to prevent curdling when added to the hot sauce.
A splash of dry sherry or white wine added when deglazing the pan can elevate the flavor profile.
Garnish with fresh parsley or dill for a pop of color and fresh flavor.

    I substituted sirloin for the tenderloin to save money, and it still turned out great!

    My sour cream curdled a bit. I think I had the heat up too high. I'll be more careful next time.
