Method
- Put a large frying pan over a high heat. When the pan is really hot (a drop of water should instantly sizzle in the pan), put in a little of the oil. Add half the beef, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 1-2 mins until golden, then season well and use tongs to quickly turn the strips over. Cook for 1-2 mins more, then remove and set aside.
- Fry the remaining beef in a little more oil as before, then remove and set aside. Cook the mushrooms in the remaining oil for 2 mins until golden and soft, then remove and set aside.
- Turn the heat down to medium and put the butter in the pan followed by the onion. Cook for 3-5 mins until soft. Stir in the flour, ensuring that the onion is evenly coated, then pour over the hot beef stock and any juices from the resting beef and mushrooms. Bring to the boil and leave to simmer for 5 mins or until slightly thickened.
- Stir most of the soured cream through the sauce until smooth, then return the beef and mushrooms to the pan. Finish cooking for 1-2 mins for rare steak, 3-4 mins for medium or up to 5 mins for well done, ensuring everything is heated through.
- Serve with the cooked rice and dollop over the reserved soured cream. Scatter over the chopped parsley and paprika to finish.

Tip
To make slicing the beef easier, try freezing the steaks for 30 mins beforehand.
