Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of flour over the onions and mushrooms. Stir-fry the mixture for about 1 minute to cook off the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in half of the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Then add the remaining broth.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the gravy thickens slightly.
Finish the Gravy:
Stir in 3 tablespoons of sour cream and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, mixing well to combine. These ingredients add a tangy richness to the gravy.
For an extra touch of freshness, sprinkle in some chopped chives (optional).
Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed.
Assemble the Dish:
Return the cooked beef strips to the pan with the gravy. Simmer for another minute, or until the beef is heated through and well coated with the sauce.
Serve:
While the beef is simmering, cook your favorite pasta according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta and serve it topped with the beef and gravy.
Garnish with extra chives if desired, and enjoy your restaurant-quality meal at home!
Tips for Success:
Choosing the Right Beef: Rib-eye is a tender and flavorful cut, but you can also use flank steak or skirt steak. If you opt for these cuts, consider marinating them for at least 30 minutes to enhance their tenderness.
Adjusting the Gravy: If your gravy ends up too thick, add a splash of beef broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
Gluten-Free Option: To make this recipe gluten-free, simply substitute the flour with a gluten-free alternative.
Extra Vegetables: Feel free to get creative by adding other vegetables like chopped carrots or bell peppers to the gravy for added nutrition and flavor.
