Whole wheat pasta offers more fiber.

Start with 2 scotch fillet steaks, each weighing 250 grams (8.8 ounces).

Use a meat mallet to beat the steaks to soften the fibers.

Slice the steaks into strips about 1 to 1.5 centimeters thick.

Trim any excess fat if desired, but leaving it on adds flavor.

Slice 350 grams (12.3 ounces) of swiss brown mushrooms into thick, even pieces.

Place a large pan on the stovetop over high heat and add 2 tablespoons (28 grams) of unsalted butter, allowing it to melt until browned.

Add half of the sliced steak to the pan, spreading it out to avoid overcrowding, and sear for 45 seconds on each side.

Remove the seared steak from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, add another 2 tablespoons (28 grams) of unsalted butter and 1 diced brown onion, sautéing for 2 minutes while stirring regularly.

Add the sliced swiss brown mushrooms to the pan and continue to sauté for 5 minutes, stirring regularly.

Add 1 tablespoon (20 grams) of dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon (5 grams) of sea salt flakes, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper, mixing well.

Pour in 80 milliliters (1/3 cup) of brandy, deglazing the pan, and cook for 2 minutes over medium heat.

Add 1.5 cups (375 milliliters) of beef stock, 3/4 tablespoon (15 milliliters) of worcestershire sauce, and 1.75 tablespoons (24 grams) of plain flour, mixing to thicken the sauce.

Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Turn the heat down to low and add 3/4 cup (140 grams) of sour cream and the seared steak, mixing gently to incorporate the sour cream without curdling.

Check the seasoning and adjust if necessary before removing from heat.

Serve over cooked papardelle pasta, topping with mushrooms and steak, and garnish with roughly chopped flat leaf parsley and cracked black pepper.
