- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 lemon
- 1 small glass brandy
- 50 ml (1.7 fl oz) sour cream
- olive oil
- 1 knob unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preparation: Prepare ingredients by zesting lemon, finely chopping garlic and onion, slicing mushrooms, and mincing parsley.
- Meat Preparation: Pound beef between plastic wrap to thin consistency, then slice into finger-width strips. Season thoroughly with paprika, lemon zest, sea salt, and black pepper.
- Aromatics Development: In a large skillet, sauté garlic and onion over medium-low heat until softened and translucent. Transfer to a side plate.
- Mushroom Caramelization: Melt butter in same skillet, increase heat to high, and sear mushroom slices until golden-brown. Remove and set aside.

Notes
- Tenderize Meat Technique: Gently pound beef between plastic wrap to ensure even, thin cuts that cook quickly and remain incredibly tender.
- Maximize Mushroom Flavor: Sear mushrooms on high heat to develop deep golden-brown caramelization, which intensifies their natural umami taste.
- Strategic Seasoning Approach: Balance paprika, lemon zest, salt, and pepper directly on beef strips for a comprehensive flavor infusion before cooking.
- Quick Cooking Critical: Work with high heat and short cooking times to preserve beef’s pink center and prevent overcooking, maintaining succulent texture.
