Instructions
- Sear the beef:
- Heat 1 tablespoon butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef strips in batches, searing until browned on all sides (about 2-3 minutes). Remove beef and set aside.

- Deglaze and simmer:
- Deglaze the pan with beef broth, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and bring to a simmer.
- Mix and combine:
- Reduce heat to low. Return beef (and juices) to skillet. Stir in Dijon mustard and sour cream until combined and the sauce is creamy. Do not boil.
- Finish and season:
- Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
