Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Vegetables
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
Sauce and Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup sour cream
Pasta and Garnish
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Cook the Egg Noodles: Prepare the egg noodles according to the package directions until al dente. Drain thoroughly and set aside to keep warm.
- Brown the Ground Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add diced onion, minced garlic, and sliced mushrooms to the skillet with the beef. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
- Make the Roux: Stir in the unsalted butter until melted. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to combine and cook out the raw flour taste.
- Prepare the Sauce: Slowly whisk in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Finish the Sauce: Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the sour cream until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Combine and Serve: Add the cooked egg noodles into the skillet and toss well to coat with the sauce. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
