Servings: persons

800 g eye fillet beef (or other tender beef cut)
50 g butter
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 1/2 tablespoons ground paprika (use a combo of hot and sweet)
350 g button mushrooms, sliced
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (rounded tsp)
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
300 ml light sour cream
1/2 lemon, juiced
vodka (or cognac) (optional)
fresh parsley, chopped
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste (optional)

1
Slice beef into strips 1 cm wide.
2
Melt the butter in a deep, heavy pot over medium heat. Add onion and saute until soft.
3
Add combined paprika powder and cook, stirring, a couple of minutes, being careful not to let the onion brown.
4
Add mushrooms and nutmeg and cook a further 3 to 5 minutes. Remove contents from pan and set aside. Add a splash of water, stock, vodka or cognac to deglaze pan, and pour liquid over mushrooms.
5
Return pan to heat and add half the olive oil. Cook beef in batches over high heat, adding more oil as necessary - seal and caramelise the beef rather than stewing it. Remove beef and set aside.
6
Return mushrooms and liquid, and onion mixture to pan, pour in sour cream and simmer for a minute until it is hot and starts to reduce.
7
Return beef to pan with lemon juice and some parsley.
8
Season with salt, pepper and a dash more nutmeg, to taste (and as desired).
9
Serve immediately with noodles or rice.
