Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb Beef (thin sliced steak, stew meat, or ground beef) Choose a tender cut for best results.
  • 8 oz Mushrooms (white or cremini) Slice thin for even cooking.
  • 1 medium Onion Chopped finely.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced.
  • 2 Tbsp Butter or oil For cooking.
  • 2 cups Beef broth Use low sodium if preferred.
  • 1 cup Sour cream For creamy tang.
  • 2 Tbsp Flour To thicken the sauce.
  • 8 oz Egg noodles Or any noodles you like.
  • to taste Salt For seasoning.
  • to taste Pepper For seasoning.
  • optional Paprika Pinch for added flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Boil your noodles in salted water. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large pan, cook the beef. If using sliced steak, do it quickly on high heat to brown without toughening. For ground beef, break it up and cook until no longer pink. Move it to a plate.
  3. In the same pan, add butter, then mushrooms and onions. Cook them until the mushrooms release moisture and start to brown. Add garlic in the last minute.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the mushroom mixture and stir it in. Slowly pour in beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Let it simmer to thicken.
  5. Reduce the heat and stir in the sour cream. Avoid boiling hard once the sour cream is added to prevent separation.
  6. Add the beef back into the pan, then toss everything with the noodles. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

Notes

This dish reheats well. Add a splash of broth or milk when reheating to maintain creaminess.
