Kitchen Equipment Needed

• Large skillet or sauté pan
• Mixing bowl
• Wooden spoon or spatula
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Sharp knife and cutting board

Ingredients Overview

• Beef: Tender cuts like sirloin, stew meat, or flank steak work best for this recipe.
• Noodles: Egg noodles are the classic choice, but you can also use other pasta varieties like spaghetti or fettuccine.
• Gravy: A mix of beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and a touch of garlic creates a rich and savory base.
• Vegetables: Onion, garlic, and mushrooms add depth to the flavor.
• Herbs and Seasonings: Thyme, rosemary, and black pepper give the dish a warm, earthy aroma.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Beef

• Cut 1 ½ lbs of beef (sirloin, stew meat, or flank steak) into bite-sized chunks.

2. Sauté the Aromatics

• In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
• Add 1 diced onion and 3 minced garlic cloves. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
• Optional: Add 8 oz of sliced mushrooms and sauté until softened.

3. Brown the Beef

• Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the beef to the skillet and sear it on all sides until browned. This should take about 5–7 minutes.
• Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.

4. Make the Gravy

• In the same skillet, pour in 2 cups of beef broth.
• Stir in 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon thyme, 1 teaspoon rosemary, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Bring the mixture to a simmer.

5. Return the Beef to the Pan

• Place the beef chunks back into the skillet and stir to coat with the gravy. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and let it simmer for 20 minutes.

6. Cook the Noodles

• Meanwhile, cook 8 oz of egg noodles in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.

7. Combine the Beef and Noodles

• Once the beef has simmered for 20 minutes, remove the lid and let it simmer for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
• Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed.
• Stir in the cooked noodles and mix everything together until well combined.

8. Serve and Garnish

• Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese, if desired.

Recipe Tips

• For extra depth of flavor, you can marinate the beef chunks in Worcestershire sauce and a little soy sauce for about 30 minutes before cooking.
• If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and stir it into the gravy.
• This dish can be made in advance and reheats wonderfully.

What to Serve With This Recipe

• A side of steamed green beans or roasted vegetables
