Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) lean ground beef (85% lean)
  • 8 oz (225 g) egg noodles
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 ½ cups (600 ml) low-sodium beef broth
  • 8 oz (225 g) cremini mushrooms, sliced (optional)
  • ¾ cup (180 ml) full-fat sour cream
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Drain excess fat if needed, leaving a bit for flavor.
  2. Push the beef to one side of the pan. Add butter, then chopped onions and sliced mushrooms to the empty side. Cook until softened and golden, about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Sprinkle flour evenly over the mixture and stir well to combine to thicken the sauce.
  4. Slowly pour in beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Add Dijon mustard. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
  5. Add egg noodles directly into the simmering sauce. Stir to submerge noodles. Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until noodles are tender and have absorbed much of the sauce.
  6. Remove pan from heat and gently stir in sour cream until sauce is creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  7. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot straight from the pan.

Notes

If sauce is too thick, add a splash of broth or water. If too thin, simmer uncovered to reduce. Stir noodles often to prevent sticking. Add sour cream off heat to avoid curdling. For gluten-free, substitute noodles and flour accordingly. For dairy-free, use coconut cream or dairy-free yogurt and olive oil instead of butter.
