Creamy noodles, tender beef, and that rich sauce

Ah, that sounds like the start of a comfort-food classic — think creamy beef noodle skillet. Here’s a simple way to make it at home 🍝🥩

🥘 Creamy Beef Noodles

🛒 Ingredients (Serves 3–4)

• 250 g egg noodles (or your favorite pasta)

• 300 g beef (sirloin, ribeye, or stew meat), thinly sliced

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 2 tablespoons butter

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)

• 1 cup beef broth

• 1 cup heavy cream (or half & half)

• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

• Salt & black pepper to taste

• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

• Grated parmesan (optional)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Cook Noodles

• Boil noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

2. Cook Beef

• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

• Sear beef slices quickly until browned but still tender. Remove and set aside.

3. Make the Sauce

• In the same pan, melt butter.

• Sauté onions (and mushrooms if using) until softened.

• Add garlic, cook 30 seconds.

• Pour in beef broth, simmer 2–3 minutes.

• Stir in heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer until slightly thickened.

4. Combine

• Add beef and noodles to the sauce. Toss gently to coat.

• Season with salt and pepper.

5. Serve

• Sprinkle parsley and parmesan on top. Serve hot.

🌟 Tips for Extra Richness

• Use a bit of cream cheese for a thicker, velvety sauce.

• Deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine before adding broth.

• Let it rest 2–3 minutes off heat — the sauce will thicken beautifully.

If you want, I can also give a one-pan skillet version that cooks noodles and beef together for even more flavor and less cleanup.
