Method
- Heat a knob of butter in a large, deep frying pan. Once it’s bubbling, add the steak strips and fry until just browned but not cooked through. Use tongs to transfer them to a plate.
- Add another knob of butter to the pan, add the onions, then cook gently, stirring regularly, for about 15 minutes until softened and caramelised. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the onions to the plate with the steak.
- Add the mushrooms to the pan and fry for 5-6 minutes until golden and just cooked through. Add 2 tbsp brandy and bubble over the heat to reduce.
- Add the soured cream, mustard and stock, then stir well to combine. Bring to a simmer, then let the sauce thicken and reduce slightly. Return the steak and onions with any resting juices to the pan. Scatter over the parsley and serve with pasta, rice or mashed potatoes and seasonal greens – whatever you prefer.

This was easy and absolutely delicious. I used a large rump and a splash of Jack in place of the brandy.
