Instructions:
-
Begin by seasoning the beef cubes with a pinch of salt and pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.
-
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until melted and sizzling.
-
Add the seasoned beef cubes to the skillet and cook until they are browned on all sides, which should take approximately 5 minutes. Stir occasionally for even cooking.
-
Once the beef is nicely browned, add in the chopped onions, minced garlic cloves, sliced mushrooms, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook this flavorful mixture for an additional 6-7 minutes, or until the onions are tender and translucent.
-
While the beef and vegetables are cooking, prepare the creamy sauce. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream and flour until smooth and well combined.
-
Gradually pour in the half-and-half cream and ketchup, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
-
Carefully pour the creamy sauce into the skillet with the beef and vegetables, stirring gently to combine all the ingredients.
-
Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for approximately 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and the flavors have melded together.
-
Once the sauce has thickened, add in the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until it has melted and incorporated into the sauce.
-
Season the dish with additional salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
-
Finish the dish by squeezing fresh lemon juice over the top and sprinkling with chopped parsley for a burst of fresh flavor.
-
Serve the beef and creamy sauce over cooked pasta of your choice, garnishing with extra Parmesan cheese and parsley if desired.
Enjoy your delightful Beef and Noodles dish, perfect for any occasion! 🍝🥩🧀
