Ingredients
  

  • 1½ tablespoons salted butter divided
  • 6 oz. beef sirloin steak thinly sliced
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • ½ cup sliced mushrooms
  • ¼ cup white wine
  • ½ cup beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 oz. dry wide egg noodles (about 1 cup)
  • ¼ cup plain yogurt or sour cream

Equipment

  • skillet
  • saucepan

Directions
 

  1. Season the sliced steak with the salt and pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Sear the steak on both sides, then move it to a plate.
  2. Add the onion, garlic, and mushrooms to the same skillet and cook until soft, about 3 minutes.
  3. Pour in the wine and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it cook down for about 3 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk the broth, Worcestershire sauce, and flour until smooth. Pour it into the skillet, bring it to a gentle simmer, and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring now and then.
  5. While the sauce simmers, boil the noodles until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain them and toss with the remaining ½ tablespoon butter.
  6. Stir the yogurt or sour cream into the sauce and taste for salt and pepper. Add the beef back in and heat for about 1 minute. Spoon it over the noodles.

Notes

Steak is easier to slice thin if you put it in the freezer for about 20 minutes first.
