Method
- Place the beef in a freezer bag with the flour, a teaspoon of salt and a good couple of grinds of black pepper. Seal the bag and toss the beef to coat in the seasoned flour.
- In a large sauté or frying pan on a medium high heat add the oil and the beef. Fry quickly for about 2 minutes until seared on all sides. Remove the meat from the pan and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium low, add the butter and onion, use a wooden spoon to scrape off any flavour filled browned bits left over from the meat and cook for about 8 minutes. Add the capsicum, stirring occasionally for another 3-5 minutes until the onions are soft and starting to turn lightly golden and the capsicums have softened.
- Add the garlic, paprika and mushrooms and cook for about 1 minute, until they smell wonderful. Add the wine, stock, mustard and beef, stir to combine. Bring to the boil and reduce the heat to a low simmer. Cook for a further 5 minutes until the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly. Check the seasoning an just before serving, stir in the sour cream.
- Serve with your favourite pasta or rice. Top with a sprinkle of chopped parsley and a little extra paprika for colour.
