Notes
Note: This recipe uses half a box of pasta. If you are serving hearty eaters, you may need to use the whole box of pasta.
You may use different types of pasta. Egg noodles are commonly used in this recipe.
Steaks can be cooked to your desired doneness. Thicker steaks may be used, adjust frying time as needed.
Less sour cream may be used, if desired. 1/2 a cup is fine, just not quite as creamy.
