Directions

Step 1 -In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the butter and the oil.

Step 2 -Add the mushrooms and 1 teaspoon of the salt and cook, while stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms turn golden-brown, about 5-10 minutes.

Step 4 -Season the beef mixture with the black pepper and the cayenne.

Step 5 -Stir in the garlic and the flour and cook until the flour smell dissipates and the garlic becomes fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 6 -Pour in the vodka and allow it to evaporate, about 30 seconds.

Step 7 -Stir in the beef broth and the water and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 8 -Cook, while stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld together, about 10 minutes.

Step 9 -Reduce the heat to medium.

Step 10 -Mix in the noodles and cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid.

Step 11 -Simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 12 -Uncover and stir thoroughly.

Step 14 -Reduce the heat to low and stir in 1/2 cup of the sour cream.

Step 15 -Taste the mixture for seasoning and add the extra salt as needed.
