Total Time: 30m

INGREDIENTS

• ¾ cup sour cream at room temperature

  • 1 lb. sirloin steak cut into strips*

  • 2 teaspoons Diamond Crystal kosher salt divided

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper divided

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil

  • 1 large onion chopped (8 oz)

  • 16 oz sliced mushrooms white or cremini

  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic

  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley optional, for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Measure out the sour cream and remove it from the fridge, to allow it to get to room temperature.

  • Season the beef with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.

  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, for about 2 minutes. Add the beef. Cook, stirring, just until no longer raw, about 2 minutes. Quickly remove the beef to a plate to prevent it from over-cooking.

  • Add the onion and the mushrooms to the saucepan, with 1 more teaspoon of kosher salt. Cook, stirring often, until tender, 5-7 minutes, also adding the juices that have accumulated from the resting meat.

  • Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add back the beef and stir-fry for one more minute.

  • Reduce the heat to low and allow the skillet a few seconds to cool down a bit. Add the sour cream, mixing it well with a wooden spoon into the beef mixture. Don't allow the sour cream to simmer or boil, to avoid curdling. 

  • Season the dish with more black pepper, garnish with parsley, and serve.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

On top of noodles or riced cauliflower
To stay with the Russian theme, add a side of beets and a rye dinner rolls.
