Ingredients:

500 g of beef (fillet mignon, sirloin, or round), cut into thin strips
1 tablespoon of butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 tablespoon of mustard
1 tablespoon of ketchup
1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce (optional)
1/2 cup of brandy or white wine (optional)
200 g of sliced mushrooms (champignon or your choice)
1/2 cup of heavy cream (or cream from a carton)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
White rice and crispy potato sticks (straw potatoes) for serving

Instructions:

1. Season the Beef: Begin by seasoning the beef strips with salt and black pepper.
2. Sauté Onions and Garlic: In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until golden.
3. Cook the Beef: Add the beef to the skillet and cook, turning, until browned on all sides.

6. Add Sauces: Stir in the mustard, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce (if using).
7. Make It Creamy: Reduce the heat and pour in the heavy cream, stirring until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
8. Season to Taste: Adjust the salt and pepper according to your taste.
