Cook egg noodles in boiling salted water until al dente (soft but still a bite); toss with butter once cooked (about 2 tablespoons), and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat oil and add the beef in batches, so that the meat doesn't overcrowd and boil. The beef will cook very quickly. Cook for about 2 minutes per side, depending how thinly you sliced your steak. Remove to a plate and set aside.
Add in the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add in the mushrooms and cook until soft, another 5 minutes.
Sprinkle in the flour and stir for 1 minute.
Stir in the beef broth and tomato paste and stir until the sauce thickens a little, about 2 minutes.
Return the beef, and all its juice, to the pan.
Add in the sherry, salt, pepper, and thyme.
Reduce the heat and allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and add in the sour cream.
Sprinkle chopped parsley into the sauce, reserving some for garnish.
Serve over buttered egg noodles.
Enjoy!
Notes
*If you buy the package of pre-sliced mushrooms, they measure 8 ounces **You can use whatever type of sour cream you like, but full fat makes this dish much more scrumptious
