  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; add noodles and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until slightly firm; drain.

  2. 2

    Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in onions and garlic; cook until slightly tender. Mix in mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes. Add the steak strips to the saucepan and cook for about 1 minute. Stir in consomme, Burgundy, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, blend flour with cold water until completely smooth. Reduce the saucepan heat to low. While stirring constantly, slowly pour the flour mixture into the saucepan. Gradually return to a boil while stirring rapidly until the sauce is thick and smooth.

    Cover the saucepan and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. 5

    Remove from heat, let cool slightly, and stir in sour cream. Serve over cooked egg noodles.
