Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) beef sirloin or chuck steak, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or unsalted butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz (225 g) cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • 4 cups (950 ml) beef broth, preferably low sodium
  • 8 oz (225 g) wide egg noodles (regular or whole wheat)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) sour cream (full-fat)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Slice the beef into thin strips about 1/4 inch thick and set aside.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear beef strips in batches for 2 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked. Remove beef and set aside.
  3. Lower heat to medium. Add chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent. Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking another 5-6 minutes until mushrooms release moisture and begin to brown.
  4. Stir in smoked paprika, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  5. Pour in beef broth and bring to a gentle boil. Add egg noodles and stir to prevent sticking. Cover and simmer on medium-low heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender and most liquid is absorbed.
  6. Return seared beef and juices to the pot. Stir in sour cream off the heat until creamy and combined. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  7. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with extra cracked pepper if desired.

Notes

Keep an eye on the liquid level while noodles cook; add water or broth if too dry. Add sour cream off heat to prevent curdling. For gluten-free, use gluten-free noodles or zucchini noodles (adjust cooking time). For dairy-free, substitute sour cream with coconut yogurt or cashew cream and use olive oil instead of butter.
