Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound (450g) ground beef (85% lean recommended)
- 8 ounces (225g) egg noodles
- 2 cups (480ml) beef broth
- ½ cup (120ml) sour cream (full-fat preferred)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons (28g) butter
- 2 tablespoons (16g) all-purpose flour
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional: fresh parsley for garnish
- Optional: 1 cup sliced mushrooms
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions (usually 7-8 minutes) until al dente. Drain and set aside. Toss with a bit of butter to prevent sticking if desired.
- While the noodles cook, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat if desired.
- Push the beef to one side of the pan, add butter, then the chopped onion. Cook until softened and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Sprinkle the flour over the beef and onion mixture and stir well to coat everything evenly. Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Turn the heat to low and stir in the sour cream and Dijon mustard. Mix until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and plenty of black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Add the drained noodles back into the skillet and toss gently to coat in the sauce. Heat through for 1-2 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
Let sour cream come to room temperature before adding to avoid curdling. Use full-fat sour cream for best texture. Keep heat low when stirring in sour cream. Brown beef properly for best flavor. Adjust seasoning after adding sour cream. Noodles should be cooked al dente to avoid mushiness.
