Ingredients

• 1 lb lean beef sirloin or tenderloin, thinly sliced into strips
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp light butter
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 8 oz cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
• ½ cup low-sodium beef broth
• ½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt (or light sour cream)
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
• 4 cups cooked whole wheat egg noodles or grain of choice

Instructions

1. Sear the Beef
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season beef with salt and pepper, then quickly sear in batches until just browned (do not overcook). Remove from pan and set aside.

2. Sauté the Vegetables
In the same pan, reduce heat to medium. Add light butter, onion, and garlic. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and sauté until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 5–7 minutes.

3. Deglaze and Simmer
Pour in beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.

4. Create the Sauce
Lower heat and stir in Greek yogurt and Dijon mustard until smooth. Return beef to the pan and stir gently to coat. Heat just until warmed through—do not boil to prevent curdling.

5. Serve
Serve over noodles or grain of choice. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
