1 cup Sour cream For creaminess.
2 tablespoons Olive oil For cooking.
to taste Salt and pepper Adjust according to preference.

Method

Cooking the Beef

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the beef strips, season with salt and pepper, and sear until browned (about 3-4 minutes).

Adding Aromatics

Add diced onions and mushrooms to the skillet.
Sprinkle in minced garlic and sauté until vegetables are tender and onion is translucent (about 5 minutes).

Deglazing

Carefully pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to release browned bits.
Bring to a gentle simmer for about 2-3 minutes.

Making it Creamy

Lower the heat and stir in the sour cream.
Cook until heated through and sauce thickens slightly, adjusting seasonings as needed.

Serving

Serve warm over pasta or rice, or with freshly baked bread.
