Cooking time: 30 minutes

Ingredients (4 servings)
28 oz sirloin, trimmed
2 tablespoon(s) Dijon mustard
1 onion, chopped
2 1/2 cup(s) mushrooms, cleaned and quartered
Juice of 1 lemon
5 tablespoon(s) capers, chopped
2 tablespoon(s) parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon(s) all-purpose flour for the soup, smooth
2 cup(s) beef stock
Salt & pepper
Oil and butter for frying
Some crème fraîche to round off
  • Cut the meat into four equal pieces and pound to about ¼ inch (5 millimeters) thickness, season with salt and pepper and coat with mustard. Heat a little oil and butter in a pan and sear the sirloin slices on both sides. Cook medium-rare, remove from the pan and let rest in a warm place.
  • Fry the chopped onion in the residue. Add the quartered mushrooms and fry briefly. Add the lemon juice and chopped capers, dust with flour. Pour in the beef stock and reduce the sauce until creamy. Place the previously fried pieces of meat in the no longer simmering sauce and heat them up. 
  • Before serving, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and finish with a small dollop of crème fraîche.
