🛒 Ingredients

4 servings

4
  • 500 g (1.1 lb) beef sirloin or chuck, cut into small cubes
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh chives and parsley, chopped, to taste
  • 200 ml (¾ cup) heavy cream or crème fraîche

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until softened and lightly golden.

  2. 2

    Add the beef cubes and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides.

  3. 3

    Reduce the heat, partially cover, and let the meat simmer for a few minutes until tender. Add a splash of water if needed to keep it from sticking.

  4. 4

    Stir in the mustard and ketchup, mixing well to coat the meat evenly.

  5. 5

    Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Add the chopped chives and parsley and stir gently.

  7. 7

    Remove from heat and fold in the cream until the sauce is smooth and velvety. Serve immediately over steamed rice or egg noodles.

💡 Chef's Tip

For extra depth of flavor, deglaze the pan with a splash of dry white wine before adding the mustard. Using crème fraîche instead of heavy cream gives a slightly tangier, richer sauce.
