Step-by-Step Instructions

  • In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the diced medium onion and cook for about 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion turns soft and translucent.
  • Next, add 1.5 pounds of cubed beef to the skillet, making sure to brown each piece on all sides. This process should take about 8–10 minutes.
  • Pour in 2 cups of beef broth and add a bay leaf, 1 teaspoon of thyme, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of pepper. Stir the mixture and bring it to a boil.
  • Cover the skillet and allow the beef to simmer for 20–30 minutes, adding the remaining cup of beef broth as needed.
  • In a small bowl, mix ¼ cup of cornstarch with 1 cup of cold water to create a smooth slurry. Stir this into the skillet and cook for about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a separate pot of salted water to a boil and cook 12 ounces of egg noodles according to the package directions.
  • Spoon the tender beef and rich gravy generously over the warm egg noodles and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Reheat gently with added broth if needed.
