Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound (450g) beef sirloin or tenderloin strips, lean cuts
- 8 ounces (225g) egg noodles (or wide pasta or gluten-free noodles)
- 8 ounces (225g) white or cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups (475ml) beef broth, low-sodium preferred
- 3/4 cup (180ml) full-fat sour cream
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep your ingredients: Slice mushrooms, chop onion, mince garlic, and cut beef into thin, bite-sized strips.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef strips in a single layer, season with salt and pepper, and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked. Remove beef and set aside.
- Lower heat to medium, add butter to the pan, then sauté onions and mushrooms for 5-7 minutes until softened and golden. Add minced garlic in the last minute.
- Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
- Slowly pour in beef broth while stirring to prevent lumps. Stir in Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a gentle boil.
- Add egg noodles directly into the simmering sauce. Stir to submerge, cover, and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once noodles are tender, return beef and any juices to the pan. Stir in sour cream off the heat to avoid curdling. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Add sour cream off heat or on very low heat to prevent curdling. If sauce thickens too much before noodles are done, add a splash of broth or water. For richer flavor, optionally add a splash of dry white wine with broth. For dairy-free, substitute sour cream with coconut cream or plant-based yogurt and use dairy-free butter or oil. For gluten-free, use gluten-free flour or cornstarch and gluten-free noodles.
