Ingredients:
500 g beef steaks
1 Tbsp plain flour
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large onion
250 g mushrooms (optional)
2 Tbsp olive oil extra virgin
2 cloves garlic crushed
1 Tbsp butter
1 tsp wholegrain mustard
200 g crème fraiche
Rice or pasta, to serve
Snipped chives or chopped parsley, to garnish

METHOD:
Remove any excess fat from the beef and cut into thin strips, cutting across the grain. Sprinkle with the flour and season with salt and pepper. Toss together so that the meat is coated with the flour, set aside.
Slice the onions and mushrooms.
Heat 1 Tbsp of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and gently cook the onions over a low heat for about 10 minutes until softened and just beginning to colour.
Add the garlic and stir over the heat for a minute or two. Then add the butter and mushrooms. Cook the mushrooms, stirring frequently until softened.  Transfer the mushrooms and onions to a plate and set aside.
Heat the remaining oil in the pan and add the beef strips. Toss over a medium-high heat until browned.
Return the cooked mushrooms to the pan, add mustard. Stir in the crème fraiche, season to taste, then cook gently for about 5 minutes. Serve with rice or pasta sprinkled with some chives or parsley.
