Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin steak
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1.5 cups beef stock
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a large casserole dish lightly with butter or cooking spray.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef sirloin steak with salt and black pepper, then sear it on each side for about 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove from the skillet and let rest on a cutting board.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Sauté the diced onion until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their juices and begin to brown, about 5-6 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste, then gradually pour in the beef stock, stirring constantly to create a smooth sauce.
Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and freshly chopped parsley. Simmer the sauce for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Thinly slice the seared beef against the grain and add it to the sauce. Stir to coat the beef in the mushroom sauce.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked egg noodles with the beef and sauce mixture. Toss to evenly combine, then transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the casserole is heated through and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh parsley, if desired. Enjoy!
