Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) beef stew meat or sirloin, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups (1 liter) beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 12 oz (340 g) egg noodles
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese (optional, for topping)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef:
    • Toss the beef pieces with flour, salt, and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and sear until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  2. Caramelize the onions:
    • In the same pot, add the remaining olive oil and sliced onions. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  3. Make the sauce:
    • Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme. Stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Cook the noodles and beef:
    • Add the seared beef back to the pot. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the beef is tender. Stir in the egg noodles and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  5. Optional cheese topping:
    • If desired, sprinkle shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese over the dish. Cover and let it melt for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Serve:
    • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Substitute egg noodles with your favorite pasta or mashed potatoes for a twist.
  • For extra richness, stir in ¼ cup of sour cream or heavy cream before serving.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
