  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)

  • to taste salt
  • to taste black pepper

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Cook the Beef

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and cook until browned.

    Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
  2. Sauté Vegetables

    Remove beef from the skillet and in the same skillet, add onions and garlic. Sauté until onions are translucent.

    Add a bit more oil if necessary.
  3. Add Mushrooms

    Stir in the mushrooms and cook until they are soft and browned.

    Cook mushrooms until moisture has evaporated for better flavor.
  4. Combine Ingredients

    Return the beef to the skillet, add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and pepper.

    Simmer for 5-10 minutes to meld flavors.
  5. Thicken the Sauce

    Stir in sour cream and flour (if using) until well combined and heated through.

    Remove from heat before adding sour cream to prevent curdling.
  6. Serve

    Serve over cooked egg noodles and garnish with paprika if desired.

    Pair with a side of steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
