Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 medium garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips, about 2 inches long. Season the strips with salt and pepper.
Finely chop the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced beef in batches and sear until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Lower the heat to medium and add the chopped onion to the same skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent, stirring occasionally.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the onions and garlic. Stir well to coat evenly and cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to create a smooth sauce.
Return the seared beef to the skillet, lower the heat to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes until the beef is tender and the sauce thickens slightly.
Stir in the sour cream and paprika. Mix well and heat gently for 2-3 minutes. Do not allow the sauce to boil to prevent the sour cream from curdling.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Pair with rice, egg noodles, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
