Ingredients
- Beef and Marinade: 500 g (1.1 lb) beef sirloin or rump steak, thinly sliced; 1 tbsp olive oil; 1/2 tsp salt; 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Vegetables: 1 medium onion, finely chopped; 250 g (9 oz) cremini or white mushrooms, sliced; 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Sauce: 2 tbsp unsalted butter; 1 tbsp all-purpose flour; 250 ml (1 cup) beef broth; 120 ml (1/2 cup) sour cream; 60 ml (1/4 cup) cream cheese, softened; 1 packet (28 g / 1 oz) ranch seasoning mix; 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce; 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- To serve: 300 g (10 oz) egg noodles; Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the noodles:
- Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain, toss with a little butter, and set aside.
- Sear the beef:
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef, season with salt and pepper, and sear until browned (about 2–3 minutes). Remove beef from skillet and set aside.
- Cook the vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add butter. Sauté the onions and mushrooms until softened and golden, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Add flour:
- Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
- Make the sauce:
- Gradually whisk in beef broth, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add flavorings:
- Stir in ranch seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard.
- Finish with cream:
- Lower the heat, then add sour cream and cream cheese. Stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Combine beef and sauce:
- Return the beef (and any juices) to the skillet. Simmer on low until the beef is just cooked through and the sauce is thickened, about 3–4 minutes.
- Final seasoning:
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve:
- Serve over warm egg noodles, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
