Recipe Notes :

Slice beef thinly and cook it quickly to keep the texture tender.

Adjust the sauce by adding more sour cream for richness or broth for a thinner consistency.

Golden sautéed mushrooms add depth—don’t rush this step.

Egg noodles are classic, but mashed potatoes or steamed rice work beautifully too.

Keep heat low when adding sour cream to avoid curdling and maintain creaminess.
