Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 lb beef sirloin thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 oz mushrooms sliced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 4 cups prepared zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice for serving

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the sliced beef in a single layer and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on the outside, 3 to 4 minutes.
  3. Transfer the browned beef to a plate and set aside, leaving any juices in the skillet.
  4. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring, until the onion is softened, 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and turn golden, about 5 minutes.
  6. Pour in the beef broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon.
  7. Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
  8. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly, 3 to 4 minutes.
  9. Return the browned beef and any accumulated juices to the skillet and stir to coat in the sauce.
  10. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the beef is heated through and the sauce is thick and creamy, about 5 minutes.
  11. Warm the zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice in a separate skillet or microwave just until heated through.
  12. Divide the zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice among 4 plates and spoon the creamy beef and mushrooms over the top.
  13. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

- Slice the beef thinly against the grain for the most tender texture.
- If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of beef broth to loosen it.
- For extra richness, finish the sauce with 1 tbsp butter stirred in off the heat.
- You can substitute ground beef for sirloin; brown it fully in step 2 and continue as directed.
