Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1.5 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 0.5 cup sour cream full-fat recommended
  • Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish (optional)
For Serving
  • Egg noodles cooked according to package directions, for serving

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Dutch oven

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then brown the ground beef, breaking it up until cooked through.
  2. Drain excess fat, remove the beef, then add chopped onion and sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, then sprinkle flour over the mixture and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Gradually whisk in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  5. Return the beef to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat and stir in sour cream until incorporated.
  6. Taste and adjust seasonings; serve immediately over hot egg noodles, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For best results, use full-fat sour cream to ensure a creamy sauce texture. Do not boil the sauce after adding sour cream to prevent curdling. This recipe is easily adaptable with other ground meats like ground turkey or chicken.
