🥩 Beef and Noodles

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs beef stew meat (or chuck roast, cut into chunks)

• 2 tbsp vegetable oil (or butter)

• 1 medium onion, chopped

• 3 garlic cloves, minced

• 4 cups beef broth

• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

• 1 tsp dried thyme (or Italian seasoning)

• 1 bay leaf

• Salt & black pepper, to taste

• 2 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (slurry, for thickening)

• 12 oz egg noodles (wide or medium)

• Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Brown the beef: Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven. Season beef with salt & pepper, then sear until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.

2. Sauté aromatics: In the same pot, add onions and cook until softened. Stir in garlic for 1 minute.

3. Simmer: Return beef to the pot. Add broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and bay leaf. Cover and simmer on low for 1.5–2 hours, or until beef is tender.

4. Cook noodles: About 15 minutes before beef is ready, cook egg noodles according to package directions. Drain.

5. Thicken gravy: Remove bay leaf. Stir in cornstarch slurry and simmer until sauce thickens. Adjust seasoning with salt & pepper.

6. Combine: Serve beef and gravy over egg noodles. Garnish with parsley.
