Instructions

Start by boiling the egg noodles in a pot filled with salted water according to the package directions. Once they’re al dente, drain them and set aside.
If you’re using ground beef, heat a skillet over medium heat and brown the ground beef along with the chopped onion until both are fully cooked and the onion is translucent. For stew meat or chuck roast, sear the beef in the skillet with the oil or butter until browned, then cover with beef broth and allow to simmer until the beef is tender, which typically takes about 1.5 to 2 hours depending on the size of the pieces.
When the beef is tender, add the minced garlic and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir well to combine, ensuring there are no lumps. Gradually add the beef broth while stirring continuously, cooking until a thick gravy forms.
Finally, toss the cooked noodles with the rich beef and gravy sauce until well combined. If you desire a creamier texture, stir in the sour cream or heavy cream before serving. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and enjoy your Beef and Noodles hot from the stovetop!

Notes

For best results, avoid common mistakes such as overcooking the beef, which can lead to toughness, or forgetting to taste and adjust your seasonings until the dish shines.
