1 Finely mince the garlic. Place the garlic and 2 Tbsp butter in a large pot or skillet, then cook over medium heat for about 1 minute, stirring as needed, until the garlic has softened and smells fragrant.

2 Add the ½ lb. ground beef to the pot. Break it apart as it cooks and continue sautéing until no pink remains and the meat is fully browned.

3 While the beef is cooking, slice the 8 oz. mushrooms. Add them to the browned beef along with the ⅛ tsp freshly cracked black pepper, then sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are soft.

4 Pour the 8 oz. uncooked wide egg noodles into the pot. Add the 2 cups beef broth, 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce, and ½ tsp Dijon mustard, then stir everything together. The broth will sit below the top of the noodles rather than covering them completely.

5 Cover the pot and increase the heat to medium-high. When the liquid begins boiling, remove the lid briefly and stir the noodles. Cover the pot again, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 7–10 minutes. Stir occasionally, replacing the lid every couple of minutes, until the noodles are tender and most of the broth has been absorbed.

6 When the noodles are tender, add the ⅓ cup sour cream and gently fold it through the mixture until the sauce looks rich and creamy. Taste and add extra salt or pepper if needed. Roughly chop the optional parsley, scatter it over the top, and serve the beef stroganoff hot.
