1
Cut the boneless beef into 1/2-inch strips.

Stir well to combine, cover the skillet, and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the meat is fork-tender.

While the meat simmers, mix 2 tablespoons of flour with 1/2 cup of water in a small bowl until smooth.

Stir the flour mixture into the skillet along with 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce and 1 can of undrained mushrooms with their liquid.

Note

If making this dish ahead of time, do not add the sour cream before storing. Reheat the meat and gravy mixture gently, then stir in the sour cream just before serving to prevent curdling.

For a richer flavor, you can substitute some of the water with beef broth.

Serve with egg noodles, egg roll wrappers, or mashed potatoes for an authentic experience.
