Ingredients
-
1 lb prime rib, thinly sliced
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 medium onion, finely chopped
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
-
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
-
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
-
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
-
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
-
1 cup beef broth
-
1 cup heavy cream
-
2 teaspoons cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
-
12 oz egg noodles or pasta of choice
-
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
-
Prepare the noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, toss with a teaspoon of olive oil, and set aside.
-
Sear the prime rib: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced prime rib in batches if necessary, searing 1–2 minutes per side until browned. Remove and cover loosely to keep warm.
-
Cook the aromatics: In the same skillet, sauté chopped onions for 3–4 minutes until soft and translucent. Add garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant.
-
Add mushrooms: Stir in sliced mushrooms and cook 5–6 minutes until tender and their juices release.
-
Build the sauce: Reduce heat to medium. Add Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, stirring to combine. Pour in beef broth, scraping the skillet to lift browned bits. Simmer 5 minutes.
-
Incorporate cream: Pour in heavy cream while stirring. For a thicker sauce, dissolve cornstarch in water and stir in. Simmer 3–4 minutes until sauce thickens.
-
Return the beef: Add seared prime rib back to the skillet and stir to coat in sauce. Simmer 2–3 minutes until beef is warmed through.
-
Combine with noodles: Add cooked noodles to the skillet, tossing gently to coat evenly with sauce.
-
Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
-
Use quality beef such as leftover prime rib, sirloin, or ribeye for the best flavor and tenderness.
-
Avoid overcooking the beef; add it back at the end to stay juicy.
-
Egg noodles are traditional, but fettuccine, pappardelle, or gluten-free pasta can be used.
-
For extra flavor, try adding thyme or a pinch of nutmeg.
-
The sauce can be made ahead; reheat gently before combining with noodles and beef.
