Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound beef stew meat (cut into cubes)
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Liquids and Additional Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 (10.5-ounce or 298 grams) can condensed French onion soup
- 2 to 2 1/2 cups (473 to 591 milliliters) beef broth
Instructions
- Sear the beef in a large pot with olive oil over medium-high heat at 375°F, seasoning with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until golden brown and caramelized, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
- Pour French onion soup and beef broth into the pot, allowing the liquid to simmer and tenderize the meat for 10-12 minutes, creating a rich, flavorful base.
- Submerge egg noodles completely in the liquid, increasing heat to boiling point, then reducing to a gentle simmer for 8-9 minutes until noodles become soft and absorb most of the cooking liquid.
- Remove pot from heat and incorporate sour cream and grated Parmesan cheese, stirring thoroughly to develop a smooth, creamy sauce with depth of flavor.
- Garnish the dish with crispy French fried onions and fresh chopped parsley, ensuring an even distribution of crunchy topping across the surface.
- Transfer the creamy beef and noodle mixture into serving bowls while piping hot, adding an extra sprinkle of parsley and fried onions for enhanced texture and visual appeal.
Notes
- Meat Selection: Choose well-marbled stew beef for maximum tenderness and rich flavor that melts in your mouth.
- Liquid Management: Watch the liquid levels closely while cooking noodles to prevent burning and ensure perfect sauce consistency.
- Cheese Enhancement: Use freshly grated Parmesan for deeper umami and smoother melting compared to pre-packaged varieties.
- Texture Boost: Add crispy French fried onions just before serving to maintain their crunch and provide delightful textural contrast.
