Ingredients
1 lb beef stew meat or flank steak, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups beef broth
1/2 cup French onion dip or soup mix
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 oz egg noodles
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook for 5-7 minutes, until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and sauté for 7-8 minutes, or until the onions are softened and caramelized.
- Add the garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently.
- Return the beef to the skillet and stir in the beef broth, French onion dip (or soup mix), soy sauce, thyme, pepper, and salt. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.
- While the beef and sauce are simmering, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
- Stir the cooked noodles into the beef and onion mixture. Toss until the noodles are well coated with the sauce.
- Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley before serving.

Herb Variation: Try rosemary or oregano for a unique flavor twist.
Storage: Can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheating: Reheat on the stove with a splash of beef broth or water to loosen the sauce.
