Directions
-
Trim all visible fat from the round steak and cut the meat into 1-inch cubes.
-
In a medium saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, combine the beef cubes, 1 can of beef broth, 1 cup of water, 1 dash of Worcestershire sauce, sliced white mushrooms, chopped onions, crushed rosemary, salt, thyme, black pepper, and bay leaf.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until the beef is tender, about 20-25 minutes. Alternatively, microwave on high for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through.
-
While the beef simmers, cook 4 oz of no-yolk egg noodles according to package directions; drain and set aside.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup nonfat milk and 1 tablespoon flour until smooth to create a slurry.
-
Remove the bay leaf from the beef mixture. Stir the flour-milk slurry into the simmering beef sauce.
-
Continue to simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
-
Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup fat-free sour cream until fully incorporated.
-
Serve the beef and mushroom sauce hot over the prepared egg noodles.

Note
All ounce measurements for meat should be done by weighing the meat after trimming, as volume measurements can vary significantly.
For best results, ensure the beef is cut into uniform cubes so that they cook evenly.
You can substitute round steak with sirloin or flank steak if available, ensuring to trim all visible fat to keep the dish low-fat.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of water or broth if the sauce has thickened too much.
