Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.5 lb beef chuck or sirloin, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 tsp kosher salt plus more to taste
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 cup diced yellow onion
  • 8 oz sliced mushrooms optional
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 0.5 tsp dried thyme
  • 1.5 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce optional, for extra depth
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 12 oz wide egg noodles
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp water for slurry
  • 0.5 cup sour cream for a creamy finish
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish, optional

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Pat the beef dry, then season with the salt and pepper.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high. Sear beef in two batches until browned. Transfer to a plate.
  • Melt 1 tbsp butter in the pot. Add onion and mushrooms; cook, stirring, until lightly browned, 5–6 minutes.
  • Stir in garlic and thyme; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Splash in Worcestershire and soy sauce. Pour in beef broth and Dijon; scrape up browned bits.
  • Return beef and any juices. Bring to a lively simmer.
  • Stir in egg noodles. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 8–10 minutes.
  • Mix cornstarch with water. Stir the slurry into the pot and simmer until the sauce thickens, 1–2 minutes.
  • Turn off heat. Swirl in remaining 1 tbsp butter and the sour cream. Adjust seasoning and garnish with parsley.

Notes

Try swapping the mushrooms for frozen peas and carrots, or use ground beef for a quicker cook. Serve over mashed potatoes for extra comfort, or thin leftovers with a splash of broth when reheating. Refrigerate up to 4 days.
