Ingredients

1  8 oz tender steak such as Ribeye

1 large onion  halved or quartered and sliced very thinly

2 Tablespoons self-rising flour

2 cups beef broth 

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 Tablespoon yellow or Dijon mustard

3/4 cup sour cream

8 oz. fresh mushrooms sliced thinly

1/2 stick butter 

2 Tablespoons Olive oil 

1 Teaspoon Kitchen Bouquet - optional

Half a bag of egg noodles -  I used No Yolks Extra Broad

Salt & Pepper to taste

Preparations

Bring a large pot of water to boil. Cook the egg noodles. 

Tenderize steak.  Slice very thin against the grain. Cut length to your liking. Add a little salt and pepper.

Directions

Heat oil in a large skillet on medium high heat add steak slices let them brown slightly for half a minute or so, then stir and heat another half a minute. Remove steak from skillet and set aside for now. 

Refrain from overcooking it may not be completely done but it will finish cooking later in the sauce.

Place butter into skillet melt, add onions and cook on medium-high heat until softened around one to two minutes.  

Add sliced mushrooms to skillet heat for a minute.  

Add flour and sprinkle on top of onions and mushrooms in skillet. Stir gently to mix. 

Cook for about 1 1/2 minutes to cook flour. Stir to prevent burning.  

Add 1 cup beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, pinch of salt and pepper.  Stir well.  

Add sour cream and stir until melted a few minutes on medium-low heat.  

Add the other cup of beef broth and Kitchen Bouquet stirring until smooth and heated.  

Add beef steak back into skillet.  Turn off the heat the gravy/sauce will heat the meat up without overcooking it.

Taste and add more seasonings if desired.  

Pour sauce/gravy into the cooked and drained noodles stirring gently.  

Serve immediately with a salad or green vegetable.  Top with parsley, chives, or green onions if you choose.
