Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • lbs. beef steak cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 16 ounces white button mushrooms halved
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon dried marjoram
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • tablespoons cornstarch
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley chopped

Method
 

  1. Brown the Beef: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add beef pieces and brown on both sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and cover to keep warm.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onions and mushrooms, cooking until onions are soft and mushrooms are golden brown (about 7-8 minutes). Reduce heat to low, add garlic, marjoram, and thyme, and stir for 1 minute. Remove the vegetable mixture from the skillet and cover to keep warm.
  3. Cook the Noodles: While the vegetables are cooking, boil the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  4. Prepare the Sauce: Add beef broth and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet. Scrape the bottom to deglaze and incorporate all the browned bits. Mix cornstarch with ¼ cup cold water and whisk it into the broth. Simmer while whisking until the sauce thickens.
  5. Combine: Add the beef and vegetable mixture back into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until warmed through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  6. Serve: Serve the beef and sauce over the cooked noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.

Notes

  • For extra creaminess, stir in ¼ cup heavy cream or sour cream to the sauce.
  • Use a tender cut of beef like sirloin or ribeye for best results.
  • Make it spicy by adding red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce
