Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454 g) ground beef
- 2 cups (473 ml) beef broth
- 1 cup (240 ml) sour cream
- 12 oz (340 g) egg noodles, cooked
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) Worcestershire sauce
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Optional garnish: fresh parsley
Instructions
- Sizzle ground beef in a spacious skillet over medium-high heat until thoroughly caramelized and no pink remains, approximately 7-8 minutes.
- Drain any accumulated fat, then introduce finely chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent and fragrant.
- Sprinkle flour over the meat mixture, stirring continuously to create a roux and eliminate raw flour taste, cooking for approximately 2 minutes.
- Slowly stream beef broth into the skillet, whisking methodically to prevent lumps and create a smooth, velvety base.
- Enhance flavor profile by incorporating Worcestershire sauce, seasoning with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Reduce heat to low, gently fold in sour cream until sauce becomes creamy and uniform in color and texture.
- Introduce cooked egg noodles directly into the skillet, carefully tossing to ensure each strand is lavishly coated with the rich, tangy sauce.
- Transfer to serving plates, optionally garnishing with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant, herbaceous finish.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef for a healthier version, reducing overall fat content without compromising flavor.
- Replace traditional egg noodles with zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice for a low-carb alternative that adds extra nutrition.
- Create a gluten-free adaptation by substituting all-purpose flour with cornstarch or gluten-free flour blend when thickening the sauce.
- Consider using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a protein-packed, tangier twist that maintains the creamy texture.
