Ingredients
-
1 lb beef stew meat, cubed
-
1 large onion, thinly sliced
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
2 cups beef broth
-
1/2 cup heavy cream
-
2 tablespoons flour
-
8 oz egg noodles
-
1 tablespoon soy sauce
-
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
1 tablespoon butter
-
1/2 cup shredded Gruyère cheese (optional, for garnish)
-
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add beef stew meat and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove beef and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, add butter and sliced onion. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and caramelized.
-
Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
-
Sprinkle flour over onions and garlic, stirring well to combine.
-
Gradually pour in beef broth while stirring to prevent lumps. Add soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer.
-
Return beef to the skillet. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until beef is tender and sauce thickens.
-
Meanwhile, cook egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
-
Stir heavy cream into the beef mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Add cooked egg noodles and toss to combine.
-
If using, top with shredded Gruyère and let it melt. Garnish with parsley and serve.
Notes
-
For extra richness, deglaze the pan with a splash of dry white wine before adding broth.
-
Substitute Swiss cheese if Gruyère is unavailable.
-
Great with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
