Steps

You’ll need: large skillet, large pot, colander, instant-read thermometer.

  1. Season the beef with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sear the beef in 2 batches, about 1 minute per side, until browned outside and pink inside. Move to a plate.
  2. Lower the heat to medium and add the butter. Cook the shallots and mushrooms 8 minutes, until browned. Add the garlic for 30 seconds, then the flour for 1 minute.
  3. Whisk in the broth, Worcestershire and mustard and simmer 3 to 4 minutes, until thick. Return the beef and its juices and simmer 2 minutes, until the beef reaches 145°F. Let it rest off the heat 3 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, cook the noodles in boiling salted water by the package directions. Drain and toss with butter.
  5. Stir the sour cream into the sauce off the heat (boiling makes it curdle). Add the parsley and serve over the noodles.

🌡 Safe temperaturesBeef, pork or lamb steaks, chops and roasts 145°F with a 3-minute rest; Leftovers, reheated 165°F. Check the thickest part with a food thermometer (USDA). More on food safety.

Make aheadThe sauce keeps 3 days in the fridge; reheat gently to 165°F without boiling.
↺ LeftoversSpoon leftovers over a baked potato or rice.
🧒 With kidsCut the beef into small pieces; the noodles and creamy sauce win most kids over.
Gluten-free swapUse cornstarch instead of flour, gluten-free noodles, and check the Worcestershire label.
Meatless swapSkip the beef and use 1 1/2 pounds mushrooms with vegetable broth.
