Instructions
Preheat the oven to 275 degrees.
Slowly simmer the beef by heating olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, add beef and cook, stirring often, for about 3 minutes.
Add onions and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes. Add garlic, thyme, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add broth and bay leaf, then cover with a lid.
Place in the oven to slow-simmer for 4 hours. Remove from the oven and discard the bay leaf.
Cook the mushrooms by heating the butter or oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and leave undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, then toss and continue cooking until golden brown. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
Finish the stroganoff by adding the mushrooms to the beef mixture, along with the Dijon, Worcestershire, and sour cream. Stir and bring to a boil.
Make the slurry by combining the cornstarch with a few tablespoons of cold water or beef broth until creamy & no lumps. Stir in the sauce. Taste and re-season, if needed.
Cook the egg noodles in a large pot of well-salted water according to the package instructions.
To serve, spoon sauce over egg noodles and top with parsley. Enjoy.
