Ingredients
1½ lbs beef stew meat or sirloin, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp flour
1 packet (1 oz) onion soup mix
2½ cups beef broth
8 oz egg noodles
1 cup shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese (optional, for topping)
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear beef until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, reduce heat to medium and add butter and sliced onions. Cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deep golden brown and caramelized.
Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and flour; cook for 1 more minute.
Pour in beef broth and onion soup mix. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits.
Return beef to the pan and simmer uncovered for 15–20 minutes until tender.
Stir in uncooked egg noodles and cover. Cook until noodles are tender, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in cheese (if using), adjust seasoning, and garnish with parsley. Serve hot.
Notes
For extra flavor, add a splash of red wine before simmering.
Swap in slow-cooked roast beef for an even richer version.
Make it creamy by adding a splash of heavy cream at the end
