Ingredients

• 12 ounces egg noodles (or pasta of your choice)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pound beef sirloin (sliced into thin strips)
• 1 medium onion (chopped)
• 2 cups mushrooms (sliced, such as cremini or button)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 cup sour cream
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Step 2: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and cook until browned, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.
3. Step 3: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until mushrooms are tender and onions are translucent.
4. Step 4: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Step 5: Return the beef to the skillet. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and beef broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes.
6. Step 6: Reduce heat to low and stir in the sour cream until well combined and heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Step 7: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and gently toss to coat the noodles with the beef and mushroom sauce.
8. Step 8: Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!

Tips & Variations

• Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter sauce with a slight tang.
• Try adding a splash of white wine with the beef broth for added depth of flavor.
• For a vegetarian version, substitute beef with hearty vegetables like eggplant or zucchini and use vegetable broth.
• Beef sirloin works best for tenderness, but you can also use flank or skirt steak if sliced thinly.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of broth or water if the sauce is too thick. Avoid overheating to prevent sour cream from curdling.
