Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb beef stew meat or chuck roast cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 8 oz egg noodles
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch optional, for thickening
  • 2 tablespoons water if using cornstarch
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Season beef with salt and pepper, then sear in batches until browned. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, add diced onion and sauté until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  4. Return beef to the pot. Add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and onion powder. Stir well.
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer covered for 45–60 minutes, or until beef is tender.
  6. Add egg noodles and cook uncovered for 8–10 minutes, or until noodles are tender.
  7. For a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with water and stir into the pot during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
  8. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Great for leftovers! Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Swap egg noodles for rotini or wide pasta if preferred.
  • Add mushrooms or peas for extra flavor and veggies.
  • For a richer flavor, use a splash of red wine while sautéing the onion.
