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 fresh parsley chopped
  • 4 cups zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice for serving

Method
 

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
  2. Add the sliced beef in an even layer and cook, stirring only as needed, until browned, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the beef and any juices to a plate.
  3. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and turn golden, about 5 minutes.
  5. Pour in the beef broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a spoon. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper and simmer 2 to 3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  7. Return the browned beef and any accumulated juices to the skillet, stir to coat in the sauce, and simmer for 5 minutes until the beef is heated through and the sauce thickens to a spoon-coating consistency.
  8. Warm the zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice in a separate pan or microwave until hot.
  9. Serve the creamy beef mixture over the zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

- Use very thinly sliced sirloin so the beef sears quickly and stays tender.
- If the sauce seems thin, simmer it for an extra 1 to 2 minutes; it will also thicken slightly as it cools.
