Ingredients
Let’s gather the ingredients to create this delicious dish. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 pound of beef chuck, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
If you’re out of egg noodles, feel free to substitute with any pasta you have on hand. And for a lighter version, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
Instructions
Now, let’s get cooking! Follow these steps to whip up your Creamy Beef and Noodles:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef pieces and season with salt and pepper. Sear until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the beef back to the skillet along with the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 45 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
- In a separate pot, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Once the beef is tender, stir in the heavy cream and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the creamy sauce.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
As my abuela always said, “Cook with your senses.” Taste as you go, and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
