Ingredients
1 pound ground beef, 85 percent lean
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
One-half teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth, low sodium
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
One-half cup sour cream, full-fat
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
12 ounces wide egg noodles
Instructions
1. Cook the wide egg noodles according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and brown it thoroughly, draining excess fat.
3. Add the diced onion and sliced mushrooms, sautéing for seven to eight minutes until tender and browned. Stir in the minced garlic for thirty seconds.
4. Add the butter and then sprinkle the flour over the mixture. Stir constantly for one minute to create a roux.
5. Slowly whisk in the beef broth until smooth. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard.
6. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for about five minutes until thickened.
7. Remove the skillet from the heat. Gently stir in the sour cream until the sauce is creamy and uniform.
8. Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet and toss everything to combine. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
For the smoothest finish, allow the sour cream to sit out for about twenty minutes to reach room temperature before stirring it into the sauce.
Avoid adding cold sour cream to a vigorously boiling sauce to prevent it from splitting.
