Ingredients

  • 12 ounces egg noodles
  • 8 ounces mushrooms
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter divided
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 shallots minced
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 pinch white pepper
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1/8 cup port wine
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

Method

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  • Cook egg noodles according to package directions.
  • Melt the 1 tablespoon butter and olive oil in a large saute pan over high heat.
  • Once the butter has melted and the bubbles in the mixture have started to subside, add the chopped mushrooms.
  • Stir continuously, allowing the mushrooms to absorb the butter and oil mixture.
  • After a few minutes, once the mushrooms have begun to brown and release their juices take off heat.
  • Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, use a fork to mix together the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, allspice, black pepper, paprika, and white pepper.
  • In a saute pan, melt the remaining two tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
  • Add the shallots and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
  • Add the beef mixture.
  • Stir the mixture, being sure to break up any large pieces.
  • Once the beef has browned and is no longer pink (about 6 or so minutes), stir in the tomato paste.
  • Cook for a minute then add the browned mushrooms, beef broth and port.
  • Turn the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil.
  • Once the mixture has reduced a bit, take off heat and mix in sour cream.
  • Serve with egg noodles.
