Season the beef strips with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the beef strips in a single layer and sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining beef, adding more oil if needed. Set the seared beef aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and turn golden brown.
Pour in the beef broth to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.
Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Allow the sauce to come to a gentle simmer.
Return the seared beef strips to the skillet and let them cook in the sauce for 5-7 minutes, ensuring they are fully coated and warmed through.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped thyme if desired and serve immediately. This dish pairs well with steamed low-carb vegetables like broccoli or cauliflower mash.
