Savory French Onion Beef with Noodles

by

French Onion Beef and Noodles is the ultimate comforting dish. With its tender, juicy beef simmered in a rich broth, sweet caramelized onions, and a touch of melted cheese, this meal is full of deep, savory flavors. The noodles soak up the rich sauce, creating a perfect harmony of textures.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb beef stew meat or flank steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 8 oz egg noodles
  • 1/2 cup shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese (optional, for topping)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the beef and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown.
  3. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic and stir to coat. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, to make a roux.
  5. Gradually pour in the beef broth, white wine (if using), Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, thyme, and bay leaf. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  6. Return the beef to the skillet and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.
  7. While the beef is simmering, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  8. Remove the bay leaf from the beef mixture and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  9. Add the cooked noodles to the beef and onion mixture and stir to combine.
  10. If desired, sprinkle shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese on top and place the skillet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
