Equipment

  • 1 Oven-proof Skillet

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds ground chuck
  • 8 oz. mushrooms sliced, mixed mushrooms or button mushrooms work well
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly cracked
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced, or garlic paste
  • 1 medium yellow onion sliced (about 1 cup sliced onion)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or ⅓ tsp. dried thyme
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 1.5 cups beef stock
  • 12 ounces wide egg noodles
  • cup sour cream

Instructions

  • Season ground beef chuck with salt and black pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and spray lightly with cooking sprayIf using a cast-iron skillet, you can skip this step. Add beef to the skillet and sear one side until it browns nicely, about 3-5 minutes.

Notes

  • Make it in a cast-iron skillet: We recommend a 10" cast iron skillet. A stainless steel skillet will work as well. Avoid using a non-stick skillet as you won't get a good sear on the beef.
  • Sear the beef: Searing the beef adds a nice crust for more flavor. Don't skip this step!
  • Use fresh mushrooms: Use fresh mushrooms for maximum flavor.
  • Use beef stock, not broth: Beef stock will produce a deeper flavor, so use stock over broth.
