- 8 oz cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef broth (preferably low-sodium)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
- Slice the Bavette Steak: Trim any excess fat from the bavette steak and slice it thinly against the grain. Slicing against the grain keeps the meat tender, especially for cuts like bavette.
- Chop the Vegetables: Thinly slice the onion and mushrooms. Mince the garlic and set aside.
Step 2: Sear the Steak
- Heat the Oil: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat.
- Sear the Steak: Add the steak slices in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until browned but not fully cooked through. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding. Transfer the browned steak to a plate and set aside.
Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables
- Add Butter to the Pan: Lower the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet.
- Cook the Onions and Garlic: Add the sliced onions and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until softened and lightly golden. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Add the Mushrooms: Stir in the mushrooms and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are golden brown and any released liquid has evaporated.
Step 4: Build the Sauce
- Sprinkle with Flour: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. This helps thicken the sauce.
- Add Broth and Worcestershire Sauce: Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Add the Worcestershire sauce and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Simmer to Thicken: Let the sauce simmer for 5-6 minutes, or until it begins to thicken slightly.
Step 5: Finish the Sauce
- Add Sour Cream and Dijon Mustard: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream, heavy cream, and Dijon mustard until smooth. This will give the sauce a creamy texture and a slight tanginess.
- Season with Salt and Pepper: Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper as needed.
Step 6: Combine and Serve
- Add Steak Back to the Pan: Return the seared bavette steak to the skillet, stirring gently to coat the meat in the sauce. Allow it to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the beef is warmed through.
- Serve: Serve the stroganoff over a bed of egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, thyme, or grated Parmesan for an elegant finish.
