Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb beef sirloin Tender and flavorful; you can also use ground beef for a quicker cooking time.
  • 8 oz mushrooms Sliced; they add earthiness but can be substituted with other veggies like zucchini.
  • 1 medium onion Diced; it infuses sweetness and depth of flavor.
  • 2 cloves garlic Minced; for that aromatic kick.
  • 3 cups beef broth Use low-sodium for a healthier option.
  • 8 oz egg noodles Traditional choice; whole wheat noodles or gluten-free pasta can be used as alternatives.
  • 1 cup sour cream Adds creaminess; Greek yogurt can be used for a lighter touch.
  • 2 tablespoons flour For thickening the sauce.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For sautéing; any cooking oil will work.
  • Salt and pepper to taste Essential for seasoning.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced beef, seasoning it with salt and pepper. Sauté until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove beef and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add the diced onion and sliced mushrooms. Cook until they soften and the onions turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Gradually add the beef broth, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Once bubbling, add the egg noodles. Stir to ensure they are submerged in the broth, then reduce heat, cover, and let simmer for about 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
  5. Stir in the returned beef and sour cream, combining everything well. Allow simmering for another 2-3 minutes until heated through and creamy.
  6. Adjust seasoning if needed with more salt and pepper.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, this dish freezes beautifully! Just make sure to cool it completely before transferring it to a freezer-safe container.
