Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound beef sirloin or tenderloin, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cups cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup sour cream (full-fat)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 8 ounces wide egg noodles
  • Water and salt for boiling noodles
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Slice the beef into thin strips about 1/4 inch thick. Chop the onion finely and slice the mushrooms evenly. Mince the garlic cloves.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until just al dente (7-9 minutes). Drain and toss with a little oil to prevent sticking.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the beef strips in a single layer and sear undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until browned. Stir and remove to a plate. Repeat with remaining beef.
  4. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil or butter if needed. Cook the chopped onions until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and sauté until browned, about 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Sprinkle flour over the onion and mushroom mixture and stir well. Cook 1-2 minutes to remove raw flour taste. Slowly pour in beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer until sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Return seared beef and juices to the pan. Stir in sour cream, Dijon mustard, and smoked paprika. Reduce heat to low and warm gently without boiling. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Toss cooked egg noodles into the sauce and stir gently to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes until heated through. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.
  8. Serve immediately, ensuring each serving has tender beef, mushrooms, and saucy noodles.

Notes

To prevent sour cream from curdling, add it off the heat or on very low heat and stir gently. Avoid boiling after adding sour cream. For gluten-free, substitute flour with cornstarch and use gluten-free noodles. For dairy-free, coconut cream can be used but will alter flavor. Sear beef in batches to avoid overcrowding and keep beef tender.
