Steak Tips with Mushrooms and Sour Cream Sauce

This recipe has turned into one of my favorites. In this recipe steak is topped with a rich and creamy mushroom sauce. You could put this sauce on any meat, chicken or pork and it would taste awesome. I like to serve this entree with roasted red potatoes and a side salad.

This is what I am making for dinner tonight so I thought I would share!

This recipe calls for sirloin tips, which please feel free to try. I always substitute flat iron steak in recipes that call for steak because it is so TENDER and you can't mess the stuff up! Plus, it freezes well. I like to keep some in my freezer for a quick steak dinner. You could really use this sauce on any sort of steak. This is also a great recipe to stretch your dollar or entertain with, because you slice it and then pour the sauce over it...so everyone does not need their own steak.

Steak with Mushroom and Sour Cream Sauce

1 1\2 pounds steak
Salt and Pepper
Olive Oil
10 ounces of white mushrooms, sliced
2 shallots, havled and sliced thin
3/4 cup low-sodium beef broth
1/2 cup brandy (you can buy those small bottles they are much cheaper and are great for cooking.)
1 1/2 teaspoons of fresh thyme ( I use about 1/2 teaspoon of dried)
1/2 cup sour cream
2 Tablespoons coarse -grain mustard

Season steak with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. You want your pan hot. Add meat and cook until well browned all over, and steak reaches desired doneness. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil.

Heat remaining oil in empty skillet, add your mushrooms and put on a cover. Cook for about 3 minutes. You want your mushrooms soft. Stir in brandy, broth and thyme and simmer until reduced by half, about 7 minutes. Pull your skillet off the heat and add the sour cream, mustard and any accumulated steak juices. Season with salt and pepper if needed. Slice steak...make sure that you slice against the grain of the steak if you are using a cut like flat iron. Pour sauce over meat...and ENJOY! You'll love it I promise...and if you are like me, afterwards you'll be trying to figure out how many ways you can use that amazing sauce!
