Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs (680g) beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) butter
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 8 oz (225g) mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup (240ml) beef broth
  • 1 cup (240ml) sour cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons (16g) all-purpose flour (optional for thickening)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) brandy (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) Worcestershire sauce
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef slices and cook until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the onions until they are soft and translucent. Add the mushrooms and garlic, and cook until the mushrooms are tender.
  3. Return the beef to the skillet. Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. If using flour for thickening, sprinkle it over the beef mixture and stir until well combined.
  4. Stir in the sour cream, brandy (if using), and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Serve the Bernisches Rindsragout over cooked egg noodles or rice. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
