Ingredients
  

Main
  • One pound sirloin or ribeye steak cut into thin strips
  • Two tablespoons olive oil
  • One medium onion finely sliced
  • Two cloves garlic minced
  • Eight ounces mushrooms button or cremini, sliced
  • Two tablespoons flour
  • One cup beef broth
  • One tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • One teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Three fourths cup sour cream room temperature
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Twelve ounces egg noodles
  • Chopped parsley optional for garnish

Method
 

  1. Fill a large pot with salted water and bring it to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package directions, around 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. Cut the steak into thin, uniform strips and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the beef in batches for about 4 minutes, browning both sides. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Cook the sliced onions until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and mushrooms, and cook for another 5-6 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture.
  5. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir for 1 minute. Gradually add beef broth while stirring. Add Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard, bring the mixture to a simmer, and cook until thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Reduce heat to low. Stir in sour cream gently, ensuring the mixture does not boil to avoid curdling. Add the cooked beef back to the skillet and simmer for another 3-5 minutes, until heated through.
  7. Serve the beef and mushroom sauce over the cooked egg noodles. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

For best results, slice the beef thinly and use full-fat sour cream. You can substitute beef with ground beef or chicken, and sour cream with Greek yogurt. For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth and more mushrooms or tofu.
