OLD-FASHIONED BEEF & NOODLES image

A very memorable comfort food served interchangeably with Chicken and Noodles--both with homemade mashed potatoes (no lumps!). While Mother made her noodles from scratch, after one miserable attempt, I chose to go the store-bought route. They do have some marvelous noodles out there. Photo by:...

Categories     Beef

Time 1h55m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 lb stew beef, trimmed of fat
2 medium cans beef broth
1 pkg (16 oz.) kluski egg noodles
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
water

Steps:

  • 1. Place beef in a Dutch oven in enough water to cover beef. Add the beef broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat and simmer, covered, 1 hour.
  • 2. Skim off any fat, bring to second boil. Add more water if need be, up to 2 qts. total. When water begins to boil, add the noodles and the seasonings.
  • 3. You can use 1 large can of beef broth and less--or no--water, for a beefier flavor.
  • 4. Reduce heat and simmer, covered for 30 minutes. If broth is too thin, uncover and turn heat to medium for another ten minutes or until it reaches desired thickness.
  • 5. Serve beside, or over, mashed potatoes.
