Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1.5 lbs beef steak, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme or 1 tbsp fresh parsley
  • 3 cups beef broth or stock
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch or flour (for thickening)
  • 12 oz egg noodles
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Add beef and sear until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, sauté onions and mushrooms until soft and golden.
  4. Add garlic and herbs; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Return beef to the pan, add beef broth, and bring to a simmer.
  6. Reduce heat and simmer for about 45 minutes, or until beef is tender.
  7. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with a little water to form a slurry; stir into the pot to thicken the gravy.
  8. Meanwhile, cook egg noodles according to package instructions and drain.
  9. Serve the beef and gravy over noodles. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Use chuck roast or stew meat for more budget-friendly or slow-cooked options.
  • Add a splash of red wine or Worcestershire sauce for deeper flavor.
  • For extra veggies, add peas or carrots toward the end of cooking.
  • Reheat gently with a splash of broth to loosen the gravy.
