Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1¼ lbs beef steak, cut into bite-size pieces
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 12 oz egg noodles
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef and brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt butter and add onion and mushrooms. Cook until softened and mushrooms release moisture.
- Add garlic and cook briefly until fragrant.
- Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir to coat.
- Gradually pour in beef broth while stirring to prevent lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Return the beef to the skillet. Lower the heat and let simmer until the sauce thickens and beef is tender.
- Meanwhile, cook egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain well.
- Serve beef and gravy over noodles and garnish with chopped parsley.
Notes
- Use sirloin, flank steak, or stew beef—adjust cooking time accordingly.
- Add a splash of heavy cream at the end for extra richness.
- Include vegetables like peas or carrots for added flavor and color.
- Use beef broth instead of water for a richer gravy.
- Reheat with a bit of broth to maintain a smooth sauce.
