Ingredients:

• 1.5 lbs beef tenderloin, sirloin, or ribeye
• 1 cup sliced into thin 1/2-inch strips
• 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tbsp butter, 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1.5 cups rich beef broth
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream (room temperature)
• 12 oz wide egg noodles, cooked and buttered
• 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley, for garnish

Method:

Step 1: Whisk Ingredients Thoroughly

Stir in garlic and flour for 1 minute. Whisk in beef broth, Worcestershire, and Dijon; simmer 3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream. Return beef to sauce and serve over egg noodles with fresh dill.

Step 2: Cook to Peak Tenderness

Cook egg noodles until tender Plate immediately while piping hot and finish with freshly grated cheese and fresh herbs for restaurant-quality flavor.

Step 3: Sear Beef in Hot Skillet

Sear beef strips in smoking hot skillet for 2 minutes until browned; transfer to a plate. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan, ensuring high heat contact for maximum color.

Step 4: Melt Cheese over Warm Filling

In same skillet, melt butter and cook onions and mushrooms for 6 minutes until tender Mix thoroughly with a spoon or spatula until all ingredients and savory seasonings are evenly incorporated.

Step 5: Simmer Sauce to Rich Consistency

Allow to rest for 3 to 5 minutes so the savory juices and sauce settle before plating warm. Scrape up all caramelized browned bits from the pan bottom to incorporate maximum flavor into the savory sauce.

Serving Suggestions & Pairings

Serve steaming hot spooned generously over warm buttered egg noodles or creamy mashed potatoes, accompanied by a crisp garden salad tossed in light vinaigrette, warm crusty sourdough bread, or a chilled sparkling beverage.
