Scale
Protein:

Dairy and Sauce Components:
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup milk
Vegetables and Seasonings:
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp paprika
Additional Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 8 oz egg noodles
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high temperature and thoroughly brown ground beef and sirloin together, breaking meat into small crumbles.
- Transfer cooked meat to a separate plate, leaving residual drippings in the skillet.
- Reduce heat to medium and sauté diced onions and sliced mushrooms until softened and lightly caramelized, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
- Sprinkle flour over vegetable mixture and stir to create a light roux, coating vegetables evenly.
- Gradually pour beef broth and worcestershire sauce into skillet, whisking to prevent lumps and create a smooth sauce.
- Reintroduce browned meat to skillet, stirring to combine with sauce and vegetables.
- Lower heat and incorporate sour cream, heavy cream, and milk, stirring gently to prevent curdling.
- Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika, mixing thoroughly to distribute flavors.
- Meanwhile, cook egg noodles in separate pot according to package instructions until al dente.
- Drain noodles and fold into meat mixture, ensuring even coating.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving hot.
Notes
- Meat Selection Matters: Choose lean ground beef or sirloin with 85-90% lean meat for the best texture and flavor without excess grease.
- Mushroom Magic: Use fresh cremini or white button mushrooms for authentic taste, slicing them uniformly to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
- Prevent Sauce Separation: Temper sour cream by slowly adding a small amount of hot liquid before incorporating it fully to avoid curdling and maintain a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Gluten-Free Adaptation: Substitute all-purpose flour with cornstarch or gluten-free flour blend to make the recipe suitable for those with wheat sensitivities.
