Ingredients:
- 450g beef sirloin or steak, thinly sliced
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup water
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp flour
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
- 8 oz (225g) egg noodles
- 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese (or Swiss cheese)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Caramelize the Onions:
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Beef:
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add the thinly sliced beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Sprinkle the flour over the garlic and stir well to combine.
- Gradually add the beef broth, water, and Worcestershire sauce, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
- Add the thyme and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Combine Ingredients:
- Return the caramelized onions and cooked beef to the skillet.
- Add the egg noodles and stir well to coat them with the sauce.
- Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender, stirring occasionally.
- Finish and Serve:
- Stir in the shredded Gruyère cheese until melted and well combined.
- Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
