Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Feel free to substitute the beef sirloin with ground beef for a more budget-friendly option, or use Greek yogurt in place of sour cream for a lighter version.
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef sirloin and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their juices and begin to brown, approximately 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle the paprika over the mushroom mixture and stir well to combine, allowing the spice to bloom.
- Return the beef to the skillet, then sprinkle with flour, stirring to coat the meat and vegetables.
- Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to cook gently, ensuring the sour cream does not curdle.
- Meanwhile, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and add them to the skillet, tossing to coat with the creamy sauce.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
A little tip from my kitchen: if you’re out of paprika, try a pinch of cayenne for a bit of heat, or smoked paprika for a deeper, smoky flavor.
