Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs beef sirloin or tenderloin, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 cup dry red wine or beef broth
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup sour cream, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 12 oz egg noodles

Instructions

  1. Season the beef slices generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove beef and set aside. Do not overcook.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Add the chopped onion and mushrooms to the pot. Sauté until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Add the minced garlic and dried thyme. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the red wine or beef broth to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it reduce slightly for 2 minutes.
  6. Stir in the 2 cups of beef broth, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk the flour with a few tablespoons of the warm simmering liquid until smooth. Pour this slurry back into the pot and stir until the sauce thickens slightly.
  8. Return the beef to the pot. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 15 to 20 minutes. This slow simmer keeps the beef tender.
  9. While the beef simmers, cook your egg noodles according to package directions. Drain well.
  10. Remove the pot from the heat. Whisk in the room temperature sour cream until the sauce is creamy. Do not boil after adding sour cream.
  11. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
  12. Serve the creamy beef mixture immediately over the warm egg noodles.

Notes

  • Using room temperature sour cream prevents it from curdling when you add it to the hot sauce.
  • For the most tender beef, slice it against the grain.
  • A gentle simmer is key; boiling the beef will make it tough.
