Ingredients (Serves 4)
-
1 lb (450 g) ground beef or thinly sliced beef
-
1 medium onion, finely chopped
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
8 oz (225 g) mushrooms, sliced
-
2 tbsp butter or olive oil
-
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
-
1 ½ cups beef broth
-
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
-
1 tsp Dijon mustard
-
½ tsp paprika
-
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
-
¾ cup sour cream
-
8 oz (225 g) egg noodles or pasta of choice
-
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
-
Cook the noodles
-
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
-
-
Brown the beef
-
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.
-
-
Sauté vegetables
-
In the same skillet, melt butter. Sauté onions until translucent.
-
Add garlic and mushrooms; cook until mushrooms are tender and golden, about 4–5 minutes.
-
-
Make the sauce
-
Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir for 1 minute.
-
Gradually whisk in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and paprika. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 3–4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
-
-
Combine beef and sauce
-
Return beef to the skillet. Reduce heat to low and stir in sour cream until smooth. Do not boil to prevent curdling.
-
-
Serve
-
Serve over cooked noodles and garnish with fresh parsley.
-
Tips for Extra Flavor
-
Use cremini mushrooms for richer, earthier flavor.
-
Add a splash of white wine before the broth for depth.
-
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top before serving for an extra savory touch.
-
For an even quicker version, use ground beef instead of sliced beef—no searing required.
