Beef in Mushroom Sauce

This savory beef in mushroom sauce is pretty much the Filipino version of beef stroganoff. The beef and mushroom gravy can be served with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or steamed rice. Whatever carb you choose, it will be a win-win.
When choosing beef, top or bottom sirloin will be the best cuts to use for tenderness and price. Skirt steak, flank steak, even NY strip are all acceptable to use as well. Dredging the beef in flour is an important step that can’t be skipped. This will help thicken the sauce when the beef is added back in.
