Total Time: 45 minutes
1. Sear the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the beef strips with salt and pepper. Cook in batches, searing until browned on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
2. Sauté the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the onion and garlic. Sauté until softened and fragrant.
3. Create the Sauce: Sprinkle the flour, paprika, and cayenne pepper over the onion and garlic mixture. Stir to combine. Gradually whisk in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens.
4. Combine and Simmer: Return the seared beef to the sauce. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
5. Finish with Cream and Sour Cream: Stir in the heavy cream and sour cream. Heat gently until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
6. Serve: Serve immediately over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh dill.
