Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
If you’re looking for substitutions, ground beef can replace sirloin for a more budget-friendly option. You can also use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter version. Feel free to add a splash of Worcestershire sauce for an extra depth of flavor.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a large baking dish and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add onions and garlic. Sauté for 3 minutes until onions are translucent, stirring occasionally.
- Add mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes until they release their juices and begin to brown.
- Sprinkle flour over the onion and mushroom mixture, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the beef broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 3 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low, then stir in the sour cream, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper. Return the beef to the skillet, combining all ingredients thoroughly.
- Meanwhile, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and add them to the skillet, mixing well to coat the noodles with the sauce.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Remember, patience is key! Allow the casserole to rest for a few minutes before serving to let the flavors meld beautifully. This was a tip my Nonna Rosa would always remind me of, ensuring each bite was perfectly seasoned.
