Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) stewing beef, trimmed
- 1 minced garlic clove
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 2 onions, diced
- 8 ounces (226 grams) sliced mushrooms (brown or white)
- 3 tablespoons chopped parsley
Liquid and Thickening Ingredients:
- 6 cups (1.4 liters) low-sodium beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) sour cream
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 cups (340 grams) uncooked egg noodles, cooked
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Thoroughly dry beef with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Brown beef in batches, ensuring each piece develops a rich caramel-like exterior. Remove browned meat and set aside.
- Reduce heat and add another drizzle of olive oil. Sauté diced onions until translucent and lightly golden, approximately 4-5 minutes. Incorporate minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until mushrooms release their moisture and become tender.
- Pour beef broth into the pot, stirring in Worcestershire sauce. Return browned beef to the mixture, bringing contents to a robust boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes until beef becomes remarkably tender and flavors meld completely.
- Create a cornstarch slurry by whisking cold water and cornstarch in a separate bowl. Gradually pour into simmering soup, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Allow soup to thicken for 2-3 minutes.
- Remove pot from heat. Gently fold in sour cream and freshly chopped parsley, creating a creamy, luxurious texture.
- Distribute cooked egg noodles among serving bowls. Ladle piping hot soup over noodles, ensuring each portion receives an equal mix of beef and vegetables. Garnish with additional parsley for a vibrant presentation.
Notes
- Enhance browning by ensuring beef surfaces are completely dry before searing, using paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Create deeper flavor complexity by deglazing the pot with a splash of red wine after browning beef, capturing all the delicious browned bits.
- Adapt for gluten-sensitive diets by substituting egg noodles with zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice for a low-carb alternative.
- Boost nutritional value by adding extra vegetables like diced carrots or bell peppers during the onion sautéing stage for increased vitamins and fiber.
