Brown the strips first in very hot oil.
Remove them and keep them warm.
Reduce heat, add butter.
Now fry the shallots until they look glassy.
Add mushrooms (sliced), roast while stirring.
Throw in a little flour (a teaspoon) and stir well.
Douse with white wine.
Add a mix of bouillon, sour cream and a little mustard
(mixed).
Bring to boil, remove from heat, add meat.
Put lid on pan and let it simmer over low heat for a little.

If you need a more exact recipe, let me know.
