Prep time: 10 mins ■ Cook Time: 1 hour ■ Makes: 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

  • 9 oz. pappardelle pasta (or you can substitute with fettuccine or egg noodles)
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 pound top sirloin steak, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
  • 1 (8-ounce) package baby bella mushrooms
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups low-sodium beef broth
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 fresh thyme sprigs
  • 1½ oz freshly grated Parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS

  • Cook pappardelle pasta according to package directions; drain and keep warm.
  • Wipe mushrooms with a damp cloth and cut into slices.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and coat the pan with cooking spray. Add the beef and brown all over, stirring regularly. Remove beef from the skillet and cover to keep warm.
  • In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the chopped shallots and mushroom slices, and sauté for 4 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce. Add the flour and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add broth, stirring constantly. Add pepper, salt, and thyme sprigs. Bring to a boil; cook 2 minutes. Return beef to pan; cook 30-45 minutes or until the sauce has thickened and the meat is tender. Discard thyme sprigs.
  • Add the cooked, drained pasta, 1 Tbsp softened butter and half of the grated parmesan to the beef and mushroom mixture, stirring well until the pasta is coated in the sauce and the butter has melted.
  • Divide the pappardelle with slow-cooked beef and mushrooms equally among four serving bowls. Sprinkle each serving with the remaining Parmesan cheese.
