A hearty Beef & Noodles dish is classic comfort food—rich, savory, and filling. Think tender beef in a flavorful gravy tossed with soft noodles. Here’s a simple, satisfying version you can make at home:
🥩 Ingredients
- 500g beef (stew meat or sliced chuck)
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 onion (chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika (optional)
- Salt to taste
- 2 cups egg noodles (or any pasta)
- 1 tbsp flour or cornstarch (for thickening)
- Optional: mushrooms, carrots, or bell peppers
👩🍳 Instructions
- Sear the beef
Heat oil in a pot, add beef, and brown it well for deep flavor. - Build the base
Add onions and garlic; sauté until soft and fragrant. - Simmer
Pour in beef broth and soy sauce. Add spices, cover, and let it simmer on low for 45–60 minutes until the beef is tender. - Cook noodles
In a separate pot, boil noodles until just tender. Drain and set aside. - Thicken the sauce
Mix flour/cornstarch with a little water and stir into the beef mixture. Cook until it becomes a rich gravy. - Combine
Add noodles to the beef and toss until coated.
🍲 Serving Ideas
- Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions
- Serve with crusty bread or a side salad
- Add a dollop of sour cream for extra richness
💡 Tips
- Slow cooking makes the beef super tender—don’t rush it
- You can use a pressure cooker to save time (about 25 minutes)
- Leftovers taste even better the next day!
