Serves one hungry couch potato.
Ingredients
3/4 pound sirloin tip, cut into half-inch strips
Salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 medium onion, sliced
2 teaspoons butter
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup red wine
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 tablespoon sour cream
1 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard (not country-style)
A few crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
Juice of 1/2lemon
2 cups egg noodles, cooked
A few parsley leaves, if you must
Directions
Season meat with salt and pepper. In cast-iron skillet over medium-high, heat olive oil until shimmering. Add onions and beef. Cook until just browned, about 2 minutes. Remove meat and onions to a plate.
Melt 2 teaspoons butter in skillet. Add flour, whisking until smooth. Whisk in wine and water and cook for 3 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in sour cream and mustard. Stir in beef and accumulated juices. Lower heat to low and cook for 5 more minutes or until desired consistency is reached.
Toss red pepper flakes, lemon juice and egg noodles in skillet with beef. Stake out a spot on the couch and eat straight from the skillet, with a glass of the same wine you cooked with.
