Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Sauce
- 1.5 Pound Beef Roast (cut into 1 inch pieces)
- 1 Tbsp Butter
- 1/2 Onion (diced)
- 3 cups Beef Broth
- 2 Bay Leaves
- 1/2 tsp Dried Thyme Leaves
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Pepper
- 1 Tbsp Cornstarch
- 1/4 cup Cold Water
Noodles
- 12 oz Extra Wide Egg Noodles
Instructions
- Sauté Onions: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and diced onions, sautéing until the onions become translucent and soft, about 3-4 minutes.
- Brown Beef: Add the cut beef pieces to the skillet with the onions. Brown the beef over medium heat for approximately 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even browning.
- Simmer Beef: Pour in 2 cups of beef broth into the skillet and add bay leaves, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and let it simmer gently for 20-30 minutes until the beef becomes tender. As the broth reduces, slowly add the remaining 1 cup of beef broth to maintain moisture.
- Thicken Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water until smooth. Stir this slurry into the skillet with the beef and broth. Continue to cook for 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken to a rich consistency.
- Cook Egg Noodles: While the sauce thickens, prepare the wide egg noodles in a separate pot according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain.
- Serve: Plate the cooked egg noodles and generously spoon the beef tips and thickened sauce over the noodles. Serve hot and enjoy this classic comfort dish.
Notes
- Cut the beef into uniform 1-inch pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Adjust seasoning to taste; more thyme or black pepper can enhance the flavor.
- Using extra wide egg noodles helps hold the thick sauce well.
- Watch the beef while simmering to prevent broth from evaporating completely; add broth as needed.
- For a richer sauce, you can substitute some beef broth with a splash of red wine.
