1-pound beef sirloin, trimmed of fat and thinly sliced into bite-sized strips
Salt and pepper, to taste
8 ounces crimini mushrooms, sliced
1 medium sweet onion, diced
3 cloves garlic , minced
2 tbsp. tomato paste
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
5 cups low-sodium beef stock
1-½ cups dried egg noodles
½ cup sour cream
2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, over medium-high heat, melt the butter.
Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper, to taste; add to the pot and give it a quick sear; 1 to 2 minutes on each side.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer meat to a bowl; keep warm; at this stage the beef will still have specs of pink but not to worry as it will finish cooking in the soup.
Add the mushrooms, onion and garlic to the pot; sauté until the vegetables have softened; about 3 minutes; season with a touch of salt and pepper.
Stir in the tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce.
Pour in the beef stock; bring to a boil.
Add in the dried noodles; reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until al dente.
In a bowl or large measuring cup, combine the sour cream and flour; whisk in 1 cup of the hot soup until combined; pour mixture back into the pot; cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes to thicken.
Add the seared meat back to the pot; simmer for a few more minutes to cook through.
Taste and adjust seasoning with a little more salt and pepper, if necessary.
Serve in individual bowls with fresh chopped parsley.
Notes
Store soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
