Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Beef steaks (sirloin or rib-eye, about 1-inch thick)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil

7. Stir in the sour cream, beef broth, and paprika. Mix well to create a creamy sauce.
8. Return the seared steaks to the skillet, nesting them into the sauce.
9. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover the skillet, and cook for 30-35 minutes, or until the beef is tender and cooked through.
10. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
11. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with your choice of side dishes.
