Instructions

1- Preparation:

Thinly slice the beef and onion, and slice the mushrooms.
In a mixing bowl, coat the beef strips with 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

2- Searing the Beef:

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a well-seasoned cast iron skillet over high heat.
Sear the floured beef in the hot skillet until browned, then remove and set aside.

3- Sautéing Vegetables:

In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and sauté until softened.
Add the mushrooms, continuing to sauté, then sprinkle with the vegetable seasoning mix.

4- Creating the Roux:

Incorporate 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour to create a roux with the sautéed vegetables.
Add minced garlic and sauté until it's fragrant.

5- Preparing the Sauce:

In a measuring cup, dissolve the Better Than Bouillon Beef Base in 1 cup of water to form a beef broth, then add to the skillet.
Stir in the heavy cream, Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce, and soy sauce into the skillet.

6- Combining Ingredients:

Temper the Daisy Sour Cream by mixing a small amount of the hot sauce into it, then add to the skillet to avoid curdling.
Add a final sprinkle of seasoning or paprika to the sauce for enhanced flavor.
Return the seared beef strips to the skillet, stirring well to combine and heat through.
