Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Beef sirloin or tenderloin 450g, thinly sliced into strips
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 Onion medium, finely chopped
  • 2 Cloves garlic minced
  • 8 oz Mushrooms sliced
  • 1 tbsp All-purpose flour
  • 8 oz Egg noodles 225g, cooked
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp Sour cream
  • 1 cup Beef broth
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Method
 

  1. Cook the Beef
    Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef strips and cook just until browned (do not overcook). Remove and set aside.
  2. Sauté Vegetables
    In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter. Add onions and mushrooms, cooking for 5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  3. Make the Sauce
    Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir to coat. Gradually whisk in beef broth, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Add Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
  4. Combine
    Return the beef to the pan and stir gently. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream until smooth and creamy. Do not boil once sour cream is added.
  5. Serve
    Spoon over warm egg noodles and garnish with chopped parsley.
