Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Coating
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pounds beef sirloin steak sliced into thin strips
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Pasta
- 1 pound egg noodles
Vegetables
- 1 medium white onion sliced
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
Sauce
- 1/4 cup salted butter
- 3 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef: Slice the sirloin against the grain into thin strips and dust them with all-purpose flour to coat evenly. Set aside for cooking.
- Cook the Egg Noodles: Boil the egg noodles according to package instructions until tender. Drain well and set aside for later.
- Sauté Onions and Mushrooms: Heat olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and mushrooms, sautéing until they become tender, about 7 minutes. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Beef: Without cleaning the skillet, add the salted butter and melt it over medium-high heat. Add the floured steak strips and brown them thoroughly, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Combine Ingredients and Simmer: Return the sautéed onions and mushrooms to the skillet with the beef. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, and simmer the mixture until the sauce thickens, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add Sour Cream and Mustard: Stir in the sour cream and Dijon mustard until fully incorporated into the sauce to create a creamy consistency.
- Finish and Serve: Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet, stirring everything together. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve hot over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or cooked rice as preferred.
Notes
- Steak Options: For best results, choose cuts with good marbling such as boneless ribeye or beef tenderloin to replace sirloin if desired.
- Ground Beef Variation: Use browned ground beef in place of steak; brown thoroughly, drain excess fat, then add flour and cook for 2 minutes before continuing the recipe.
- Serving Variations: If you prefer, serve over other pasta types, mashed potatoes, rice, or healthier options like zucchini noodles or mashed cauliflower.
