mushrooms are golden brown. approx. 7-8 minutes. Reduce heat to a minimum. Add the garlic, marjoram and
thyme and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Place mushrooms, onions and spices on a plate. Cover to keep warm.In
the meantime, cook the pasta according to package instructions and drain well.
Add beef broth and Worcestershire sauce to the pan. Let it simmer, scraping the bottom of the pan to remove
any brown bits. Mix the cornstarch with 1/4 cup cold water and add to the pan. Simmer until thickened; stir
frequently.Add the meat and mushroom mixture back to the pan and heat for 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and
pepper. Serve over cooked egg noodles and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
Notes
Use a lean, tender piece of meat, e.g. E.g. fillet, shoulder, ribeye steak or strips. For a more economical option, use
ground beef or ground turkey.

If the sauce becomes too thick, simply add a little more beef broth until the desired consistency is reached.
Remember that the key is little by little.
Use white or cremini mushrooms.Discard it so that the delicious brown bits of flavor from the pan go into the
sauce.
Serve over egg noodles, rice, mashed potatoes or even toast.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave at reduced
power or on the stove at low heat.
I do not recommend freezing as the texture of the mushrooms changes after freezing.
