Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb thinly sliced kangaroo steak seasoned with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Sear for 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked, then remove and set aside.
- Step 2: In the same skillet, add 1 medium finely chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Step 3: Add 8 oz sliced button mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until browned and their moisture evaporates.
- Step 4: Stir in 1 tsp paprika and 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, cooking for 1 minute.
- Step 5: Pour in 1 cup beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Bring to a simmer.
- Step 6: Add 8 oz egg noodles directly into the skillet. Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender and most liquid is absorbed.
- Step 7: Return the kangaroo slices to the skillet and stir in 1/2 cup sour cream. Heat gently for 2 minutes without boiling to combine flavors.
- Step 8: Sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley on top before serving.
