Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound beef stew meat A good choice for tenderizing as it cooks.
- 12 ounces egg noodles These will soak up all the delicious sauce.
- 1 medium onion, diced For a foundational flavor.
- 2 cloves garlic, minced Bringing in that aromatic punch.
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced Their earthy goodness enriches the dish.
- 2 cups beef broth The base for our creamy sauce.
- 1 cup sour cream A delicious creamy finish; Greek yogurt can be a lighter option.
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce A dash of umami to elevate the flavors.
- Salt and pepper To taste, ensuring every bite is just right.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions, but slightly undercook them as they will soften more in the oven. Drain and set aside.
Cooking
- In a large skillet, over medium heat, brown the beef stew meat, seasoning it with salt and pepper.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, stirring until the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Toss in the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they soften, around 5 minutes.
- Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer, allowing it to bubble softly for about 10 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream.
- Fold in the cooked egg noodles gently until they are well combined with the sauce.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the top is slightly golden and bubbling.
Notes
For extra tenderness, marinate the beef in a mixture of Worcestershire sauce and a splash of vinegar for an hour before cooking. This dish can be made with chicken instead of beef or include additional vegetables like spinach or bell peppers. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
