Beef and Noodles Ingredients
To prepare homemade beef and noodles, you will need the following ingredients, which are briefly mentioned below:
- Roast beef: I suggest using sirloin or chuck roast, as they are both extra-tender when slow-cooked and marbled with fat. Cut the beef into 2-inch chunks, then toss it with flour, season it heavily with salt and pepper, and quickly brown it in olive oil until the edges caramelize.
- Egg noodles: My grandmother used to make her own homemade egg noodles for this recipe, but if you’re looking for a quick fix, I suggest buying store-bought wide egg noodles.
- Garlic and onion: These recipe’s fundamental aromatics, fresh onion and garlic, improve the flavor of the beef stock.
- Beef stock: For this recipe, I suggest purchasing a high-quality beef stock, also known as beef bone broth, as it will serve as the foundation for the sauce that cooks the beef and noodles.
- Bay leaf and fresh thyme: Lastly, we’ll use a bay leaf and fresh thyme as the dish’s basic seasonings.
