Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) beef sirloin or tenderloin, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz (225 g) wide egg noodles
  • 8 oz (225 g) cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups (720 ml) low sodium beef broth
  • ½ cup (120 ml) full-fat sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep the Ingredients (10 minutes): Slice the beef thinly across the grain. Clean and slice mushrooms, chop onions finely, and mince garlic cloves. Set aside.
  2. Sear the Beef (5 minutes): Heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat in your pot. Add half the beef in a single layer. Let it brown undisturbed for 2 minutes, then stir and cook for another 1-2 minutes until just browned but not cooked through. Remove beef to a plate and repeat with remaining beef.
  3. Sauté Vegetables (5 minutes): Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining butter to the pot. Toss in onions and mushrooms. Cook until softened and golden, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add minced garlic during the last minute to avoid burning.
  4. Make the Sauce Base (2 minutes): Sprinkle flour over the veggies and stir constantly for 2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
  5. Add Liquids and Seasonings (3 minutes): Slowly pour in beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Cook the Noodles and Simmer (10 minutes): Stir in egg noodles and the seared beef back into the pot. Cover and simmer gently, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until noodles are tender and liquid is mostly absorbed (8-10 minutes). Keep heat low.
  7. Add Sour Cream and Finish (3 minutes): Remove pot from heat and stir in sour cream until fully incorporated and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

If sauce is too thick, stir in a splash of broth or water. If too thin, cook uncovered for a few minutes to reduce. Avoid overcrowding the pan when searing beef to ensure proper browning. Keep heat low when cooking noodles to prevent sticking. For gluten-free, substitute flour with cornstarch and use gluten-free noodles. For dairy-free, use coconut cream instead of sour cream and olive oil instead of butter. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days; add broth when reheating to restore creaminess. Freeze before adding sour cream to avoid separation.
