Can I use chicken instead of beef?

Yes! Chicken breast or thighs work beautifully—just adjust the cooking time so they don’t dry out.

How do I store leftovers?

Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat.

You can, but sour cream sauces sometimes separate. If freezing, wait to add the sour cream until reheating.

Instructions

Sear the Beef
- Season beef strips with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear beef for 1–2 minutes per side until browned (cook in batches if needed).
- Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Cook the Aromatics & Mushrooms
- In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat.
- Sauté onions and garlic for 3 minutes until softened.
- Add mushrooms and cook until golden brown (about 5 minutes).
- Stir in smoked paprika and Dijon mustard.
Deglaze the Pan
- Pour in wine (or broth), scraping up any browned bits.
- Simmer for 2 minutes to cook off the alcohol.
Make the Creamy Sauce
- Add beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stir well.
- Reduce heat and stir in sour cream until smooth.
- Add thyme, season with salt and pepper.
Return the Beef & Serve
- Add beef back to skillet, toss to coat, and warm through for 1–2 minutes.
- Serve over egg noodles, garnish with parsley, and add extra pepper or Parmesan if desired.

Notes

For extra tenderness, don’t overcook the beef—quick searing keeps it juicy.
If sauce is too thick, add a splash of broth; if too thin, simmer longer.
For a kid-friendly version, swap wine for beef broth.
Can be made ahead—prepare sauce, then reheat with freshly seared beef before serving.
