Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs Ground Beef or Sirloin Tips
  • 12 oz Wide Egg Noodles
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion, finely diced
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced or pressed
  • 4 cups Beef Broth, low-sodium
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tsp Dried Thyme
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley, chopped for garnish
  • Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned deeply.
  2. Reduce the heat to medium and add the diced onions. Cook until translucent, then stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle the smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper over the mixture and stir well.
  4. Pour in the Worcestershire sauce and beef broth, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a gentle boil.
  5. Add the wide egg noodles to the boiling broth, stir, cover, and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until al dente.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream until smooth. Adjust consistency with extra broth if needed.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning, then garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Use high-quality beef for best results. Experiment with different proteins or add vegetables for variation. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
