2. Sauté the Vegetables
In the same pan, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Sauté the onions and garlic until soft, then add the mushrooms and cook until golden brown.

4. Combine with the Beef
Return the beef to the pan and simmer for another 5 minutes. Stir in the sour cream and cook on low heat until well combined. Do not boil, as sour cream can curdle.
