Servings: 5
Ingredients
- 8 oz. egg noodles
- 1 lb. lean ground beef
- 1 cup onion finely diced
- 2 tbsp butter or olive oil omit if using fattier beef
- 4 oz. bella mushrooms chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- ¼ tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp salt
- Pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 cup beef broth
- ½ cup half and half
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese freshly grated
- Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Cook noodles according to the instructions on the package.
- Meanwhile, add the beef and onion to a large skillet and heat over medium heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the beef is somewhat cooked but not completely. Then, add the butter, mushrooms, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper and cook until the beef is browned and the mushrooms are soft, about 3-4 more minutes. Then, add the soy sauce and sauté for 1 minute.
- While the beef is cooking, whisk the beef broth, half and half and cornstarch together in a bowl or glass measuring cup.
- Pour the broth mixture into the skillet and bring the sauce to a low simmer. Then, add the parmesan cheese and stir to combine. Simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly, then remove from the heat.
- Add the noodles into the skillet and toss so that they’re coated in the sauce. Sprinkle with fresh herbs (optional) and enjoy!
Notes
- If you’re using fattier beef instead of lean ground beef, omit the butter.
