Ingredients
- 1 lb beef top sirloin or beef tenderloin (whole), at room temperature
- 3 medium onions cut into thin strips
- 7 oz. Smetana
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons sunflower oil
- 2 teaspoons flour
- 1 teaspoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ cup boiling water
- 3 tablespoons chopped parsley
- salt
- black pepper freshly ground
Equipment
- Mallet
- parchment paper
Instructions
- Wash the meat, and pat dry it well with paper towels.
- Without cutting the beef, place it between two sheets of parchment paper and beat it lightly with a mallet.
- Cut the meat against the grain into thin slices about ¼ inch (5 mm) thick and then cut it into very thin strips.
- In a Dutch oven, heat 3 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil over medium heat and add the onion strips.
- Season with salt and pepper and sauté over low heat until golden brown, stirring regularly.
- Sprinkle the fried onion with sieved flour and mix.
- Add the smetana, mustard, paprika, and tomato paste and mix well.
- Add the boiling water and bring to a boil while mixing.
- Cook for 5 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally.
- Heat a dry pan on high heat, add the remaining oil and butter.
- Fry the meat over high heat in small portions, so that the meat sits on the surface of the pan in a single layer. The goal is to sear the meat to immediately get a crust so that all of its juice stays inside. Putting too much meat at the same time will make juice.
- Salt, at this stage, is prohibited because the salt causes the release of meat juices.
- Fry the meat for 2 to 3 minutes, turning it over, until it is crusted.
- Transfer the fried meat to the creamy onion sauce.
- Stir well and simmer for another 2 minutes over low heat or until the meat is tender.
- Finish by seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, boiled potatoes, shoestring potatoes, or rice.
- Just before serving, sprinkle with chopped parsley.
