Old Fashioned Beef Noodles Recipes

OLD FASHIONED BEEF & NOODLES

Steps:

• Place vegetable oil in a large skillet and place skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add chuck roast and sear for 3-4 minutes per side.
• Using a large slow cooker, add minced garlic, diced onions, onion soup mix, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper; stir until well combined.
• Add chuck roast and cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours or LOW for 5-6 hours. Once the beef is tender enough to fall apart easily, break roast into bite-sized pieces. Reserve 4 cups of cooking liquid from slow cooker to make gravy.
• Meanwhile, cook egg noodles according to package instructions.
• To serve, place egg noodles on a large plate and top with beef.
• Pour several spoonsful of gravy on top of beef before serving.
• Using a small bowl, add cornstarch and water; whisk together until well combined. Set bowl aside.
• Using a large saucepan, add butter and place over medium-low heat. Once butter has melted, add flour; continue sautéing, stirring frequently, for 4-5 minutes or until mixture turns golden brown.
• Add 4 cups of reserved liquid from the slow cooker along with the ketchup and apple cider vinegar; stir until well combined. Increase heat to medium-high and bring mixture to a boil.
• Once boiling, add cornstarch mixture. Using a whisk, stir until mixture is well combined.
• Continue cooking, stirring often, for 3-5 minutes, or until gravy thickens noticeably.
• Reduce heat to low to keep gravy warm.

OLD-FASHIONED BEEF & NOODLES

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.

• Let soup settle for 5 minutes, then remove fat from surface using large spoon.
• Discard bay leaves.

OLD-FASHIONED HOMEMADE NOODLES

Steps:

• Measure flour into bowl and make a "well" in the flour.
• Drop the remaining ingredients into that "well."
• Work dough until it is stiff.
• Roll very thin.
• Let dry a minimum of two hours then cut into strips (I use a pizza cutter to cut the strips). You may dry longer.
• Bring boullion to a boil. If you are cooking the noodles with meat, you will want to bring the cooked meat to a boil with the broth.
• Add noodles and bring back to full boil. Lower heat to low-medium and cover pan.
• Cook covered for 18 - 20 minutes.
