Sirloin steak is the star—2 lbs (70g protein, 30g fat, 600 kcal) rich and tender. Olive oil browns—2 tbsp (27g fat, 240 kcal) deepens flavor. Onion adds depth—1 medium (11g carbs, 40 kcal) sweet base. Garlic boosts—2 cloves (1g carbs, 5 kcal) warm kick. Mushrooms enrich—8 oz (5g carbs, 2g protein, 25 kcal) earthy umami.

Sour cream finishes—1 cup (12g carbs, 40g fat, 450 kcal) creamy tang. Egg noodles pair—12 oz dry (90g carbs, 15g protein, 480 kcal) hearty match.

Variations and Substitutions

Swap sirloin with chuck roast—2 lbs (64g protein, 40g fat), fattier richness. Use butter instead of olive oil—2 tbsp (28g fat), deeper browning. Sub onion with shallots—2 medium (10g carbs), subtler sweetness. Replace mushrooms with cremini—8 oz (5g carbs), bolder taste.

Storage Options

Store in an airtight container in the fridge—keeps well for 3-4 days; reheat gently to avoid curdling.

Store cooked noodles separately—up to 3 days in fridge; toss with oil to prevent sticking.
