Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin, sliced into strips
- 250 grams cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 unit onion, thinly sliced
- 250 milliliters low sodium beef broth
- 120 milliliters white wine
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the garlic and onion, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the beef strips to the pan. Sear until browned on all sides but not fully cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove beef from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the sliced mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms are tender and golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the paprika, and black pepper, and then pour in the white wine. Let it simmer until the wine reduces by half, about 3 minutes.
Add the low sodium beef broth to the pan and return the beef to the pan as well.
Mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry and add it to the pan. Stir well to combine and thicken the sauce.
Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and cook until the beef is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, about 10-15 minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm over your choice of side, such as rice or boiled potatoes.
