Preparation Steps
1
Gently pound the beef sirloin slices to tenderize them. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and half of the butter over medium heat. Cook the steak slices for 2-3 minutes per side, until a golden-brown crust forms. Set the cooked steaks aside and keep warm.
3
In the same skillet, sauté the finely chopped onion and garlic until fragrant.
4
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes, until softened and lightly browned.
5
Pour in the brandy and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. (Caution: be careful with the flaming alcohol!)
6
Add the Worcestershire sauce and heavy cream. Stir well to combine, and cook until the sauce slightly thickens.
7
Return the steak slices to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the meat to absorb the flavors of the sauce.
8
When serving, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and serve with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
