Step‑by‑Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Beef

1. Place flour on a large plate or shallow bowl.

2. Dredge beef slices in flour, coating evenly — this creates a base for a silky sauce and helps with browning. tastykitchen.com

---

2. Sear the Beef

1. In a large skillet, melt ¼ cup butter over medium heat.

2. Add beef strips in batches and brown on all sides until seared (about 2–3 minutes per side).

3. Remove browned beef and set aside. Foodiez

3. Sauté Aromatics & Mushrooms

1. In the same skillet, melt remaining butter.

2. Sauté onions until softened and translucent.

3. Add garlic (if using) and mushrooms; cook until mushrooms release moisture and start to brown (about 5–6 minutes). tastykitchen.com

4. Build the Sauce

1. Return seared beef to the pan.

2. Pour in beef broth, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

3. Stir in dried basil, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.

4. Simmer gently until the mixture thickens and melds, about 5–8 minutes. Foodiez

5. Finish with Sour Cream

1. Lower the heat.

Chef’s Tips for Maximum Flavor

👉 Use good quality beef: Sirloin or top round gives tenderness and depth.
👉 Fresh basil > dried basil: If available, use fresh for brighter herbal notes.
👉 Thicken naturally: If sauce is too thin, simmer a bit longer rather than adding extra thickeners.
👉 Customize carbs: Egg noodles for comfort; rice for a lighter, classic “Red River” spin.
