Ingredients

• 1 lb Beef sirloin steak
• 4 large Portabella mushrooms
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 1 tsp Fresh thyme
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp All-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by cleaning the portabella mushrooms and removing the stems. Slice the mushrooms into thick slices about 1/2 inch wide and set aside.

Step 2

Pat the beef sirloin steak dry with paper towels. Cut it into bite-sized cubes, about 1 inch each. Season the beef with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves and set them aside. Chop the fresh thyme finely.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes to the pan in a single layer and sear until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Do this in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Set the seared beef aside on a plate.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced portabella mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Push the mushrooms to one side of the skillet and add the minced garlic to the cleared area. Cook the garlic for 30 seconds, stirring, until fragrant.

Step 7

Sprinkle the flour into the skillet and stir everything together to coat the mushrooms. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 8

Deglaze the pan by adding the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 9

Lower the heat to medium and stir in the heavy cream and fresh thyme. Let the sauce thicken, about 2 minutes.

Step 10

Return the seared beef to the skillet along with any accumulated juices. Stir everything together and let it cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the beef to absorb the flavors of the sauce.

Step 11

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with the remaining salt and black pepper, if necessary.

Step 12

Remove the skillet from heat and finish by stirring in the remaining tablespoon of butter for added richness.

Step 13

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
