03 - Sprinkle flour over the beef and vegetables, stirring to coat evenly. Gradually pour in beef broth and add tomato paste, stirring constantly. Simmer for 5 minutes until sauce thickens.
04 - Reduce heat to low. Stir in sour cream until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika to taste.
05 - Cook egg noodles in boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain thoroughly.
06 - Fold the drained noodles into the skillet with the sauce and beef mixture. Toss gently to coat noodles evenly. Serve immediately while hot.
