Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb beef sirloin or ribeye, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup beef broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup sour cream, full-fat or light
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 8 oz egg noodles or your favorite pasta (whole wheat or gluten-free options work)

Instructions

  1. Slice the beef thinly against the grain into strips about 1/4-inch thick. Set aside.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente (6-8 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  3. Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Increase heat to medium-high. Add beef slices in a single layer and sear for about 2 minutes per side until browned but not cooked through. Remove beef and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add mushrooms and sauté until they release their juices and start to brown, about 5 minutes.
  6. Pour in beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen browned bits. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard. Let sauce simmer and reduce slightly for 3-4 minutes until it thickens a bit.
  7. Add the browned beef back into the skillet with the sauce and mushrooms. Stir to coat and cook for 2-3 minutes until beef is cooked through but still tender.
  8. Reduce heat to low. Stir in sour cream until the sauce is creamy and smooth. Avoid boiling after adding sour cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Add cooked noodles directly to the skillet and gently toss everything together until noodles are coated with the creamy sauce. Warm for another minute or two.
  10. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

If the sauce is too thick, add a splash more broth or water to loosen it. Avoid overcrowding the pan when browning beef to ensure proper searing. Stir in sour cream off heat or on very low heat to prevent curdling. Use thin slices of beef for tenderness. Cook pasta while prepping beef and veggies to save time.
