Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes. I often prep it in the morning before the girls wake up, then finish it right before dinner. Store the sauce and noodles separately and combine when reheating so the noodles keep their texture.

What if I do not have rib-eye?

Sirloin or strip steak work fine. Adjust cook time so you do not overcook the meat. For tougher cuts, slice thin and cook briefly or consider a braise if you want to slow cook.

Can I use a different cream?

You can substitute Greek yogurt for part of the sour cream to lighten it. Add it off the heat and stir gently. If you try a non-dairy cream, note the texture will change slightly.

How do I keep the sauce from separating?

Remove the pan from direct heat before adding sour cream or yogurt. Stir until smooth and serve promptly. Avoid boiling after adding the dairy.

Freeze the sauce without the noodles for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of broth to loosen the sauce.

Instructions

Trim excess fat from the rib-eye steak, pound to even thickness, and cut into thin strips. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat neutral oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear steak strips until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from pan.
Reduce heat to medium, add butter, then onions. Cook until soft (5-7 minutes). Add mushrooms and cook until browned (8-10 minutes).
Sprinkle flour over onions and mushrooms, stir for 1 minute, then whisk in beef broth. Bring to a simmer and thicken.
Stir in Dijon mustard, return steak to skillet, and simmer until heated through (2-3 minutes). Remove from heat, stir in sour cream until smooth.
Serve over cooked noodles, garnished with chives.

Notes

For a lighter version, swap full-fat sour cream for Greek yogurt. Use fresh herbs for garnish, like chives.
