Notes

Make sure to pat the beef dry before cooking for better searing. Use fresh mushrooms for the best flavor; avoid canned if possible. If you're short on time, you can make a quick version using cream of mushroom soup. This dish pairs well with traditional egg noodles or rice; ensure whatever base you choose can hold the sauce well. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days; the flavors tend to deepen overnight.
