  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1.5 pounds flank steak or sirloin steak, thinly sliced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 8 ounces sliced baby bella (crimini) mushrooms
  • 1 small white onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 6 cups beef stock, divided
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 8 ounces uncooked wide egg noodles
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef: In a large stockpot, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add the steak, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 5–7 minutes. Stir occasionally until the beef is browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

  2. Cook Vegetables: Add the remaining butter to the same pot. Stir in mushrooms, onion, and garlic. Sauté for 5–6 minutes until mushrooms are browned and onions softened.

  3. Deglaze the Pot: Pour in the white wine and scrape the brown bits at the bottom with a wooden spoon. Let the mixture simmer for 3 minutes until reduced by half.

  4. Add Broth and Noodles: Stir in 5 ½ cups beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, and egg noodles. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook until noodles are al dente, about 5–8 minutes. Stir occasionally.

  5. Thicken the Soup: In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ½ cup beef stock and flour. Stir this slurry into the soup along with the sour cream. Simmer gently for 5 minutes until thickened.

  6. Finish and Serve: Return the cooked beef to the pot and stir until warmed through. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
