Rustic Beef Stroganoff with Egg Noodles

Instructions

1. Prepare the Egg Noodles: Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Once done, drain and set aside, keeping them warm.
2. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef, and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
3. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed. Sauté the onions for about 2-3 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant. Toss in the mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, until they soften and release their moisture.
4. Make the Sauce: Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Stir well, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
5. Finish the Sauce: Stir in the sour cream, heavy cream, and paprika. Let the sauce simmer for another 2-3 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Combine Beef and Sauce: Return the cooked beef to the skillet and stir it into the sauce. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the beef is heated through and fully coated with the sauce.
7. Serve: Plate the egg noodles and spoon the beef Stroganoff mixture over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
