Ingredients
- Salt
- 1 pound extra-large egg noodles
- 4 tablespoons butter, divided
- 3-4 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 3-4 tablespoons chives (20 blades), chopped
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), plus some for drizzling
- 1 pound sirloin steak – place in the freezer for about 10 minutes, remove and slice against the grain as thin as you can manage (slices should be the size of egg noodles)
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup flour, for dusting steak (eyeball it)
- 1/2 small onion, peeled
- 4-5 cloves garlic, peeled
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 jar chopped pimentos (4 ounces), thoroughly drained
- 2 cups beef stock
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 pound triple-washed spinach, stems removed
- Nutmeg, freshly grated, to taste
Preparation
Place a large pot of salted water over high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the egg noodles and cook to al dente, with a bite to them. Drain the noodles and add back to hot pot and toss with butter and half of the dill and chives; stir to combine.
Brown the meat for 2-3 minutes alone, then grate the onion and garlic over the meat and sprinkle with the smoked paprika. Give the skillet a stir and continue to cook for about 2-3 minutes. Add the drained pimentos and beef stock and stir to combine. Bring up to a bubble and simmer until lightly thickened, about 1 minute. Stir in sour cream and give the meat a taste to see if it needs any more salt and pepper.
