Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt
2 boneless beef rib-eye steaks (about 1 1/4 pounds)
Freshly ground pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 onion, diced
2 bell peppers (1 red, 1 yellow), chopped
1 tablespoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
1 cup low-sodium beef broth
8 ounces extra-wide egg noodles (about 5 cups)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Slice the steaks as thinly as possible (about 1/8 inch) on an angle, trimming off any large pockets of fat. Season with salt and pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak, spreading it out in a single layer. Increase the heat to high and cook, undisturbed, until browned on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the steak and any juices to a bowl.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of the remaining butter to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium high. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften and brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the bell peppers, paprika, caraway seeds, a big pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until the spices are toasted, about 1 minute. Return the steak to the skillet along with the tomatoes, beef broth and 1 teaspoon salt. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, partially covered, until the steak is tender, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, cook the egg noodles in the boiling water as the label directs. Drain and return the noodles to the pot; stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Season with salt. Divide the noodles and stew among bowls. Top with the parsley and sour cream.
