Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound beef stew meat
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Liquid and Dairy Ingredients:
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) French onion soup
- 3 cups beef broth
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
Garnish:
- 1 cup French fried onions
Cooking Base:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high temperature, creating a sizzling cooking surface.
- Introduce beef stew meat to the pot, generously coating with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sear meat for 3-5 minutes, ensuring all sides develop a rich, golden-brown exterior.
- Cascade French onion soup and beef broth into the pot, allowing the liquid to envelop the meat. Reduce heat and simmer gently for 10 minutes, letting flavors meld and meat tenderize.
- Carefully add egg noodles directly into the simmering liquid. Continue cooking for an additional 10 minutes, occasionally stirring to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Remove pot from heat source. Incorporate sour cream and Parmesan cheese, stirring thoroughly until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy with a uniform consistency.
- Transfer to serving dishes and crown the dish with a generous sprinkle of French fried onions, adding a delightful crunch and final flavor accent.
Notes
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot to ensure even heat distribution and prevent burning during searing and simmering.
- Pat beef dry before seasoning to achieve a perfect golden-brown crust and enhance flavor development.
- Choose wide egg noodles for better sauce absorption and a more satisfying texture.
- Customize protein options by substituting beef with chicken or mushrooms for vegetarian alternatives.
