Whether you’re looking to satisfy a comfort food craving or need a crowd-pleasing dish for your next gathering, this classic will become a household favorite.

The Secret to Comfort in Every Bite

The magic of Easy Beef and Noodles lies in its simplicity. A handful of fresh vegetables, beef, and egg noodles combine with a modest list of seasonings to create a meal that tastes like it cooked all day but comes together in under an hour. The tender bites of beef and rich, herby sauce cling to the noodles for the ultimate comfort experience.

Preparing Your Ingredients

For effortless prep, use the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper to quickly dice onions, carrots, and celery, saving both time and mess. Slice your beef into thin strips for faster, more even cooking. If using tougher cuts like chuck roast, cut against the grain for tenderness.

Gather a good nonstick skillet such as the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch to brown your beef and sauté the vegetables—this ensures perfect caramelization and easy cleanup.

Making the Creamy Beef Sauce

Once your beef is browned, sprinkle in flour to help thicken the sauce, and stir in broth and seasonings. Use a tool like the Farberware Professional Heat Resistant Nylon Meat and Potato Masher for breaking up any clumps, ensuring a silky, lump-free sauce.

Let the mixture simmer until the sauce is rich and the beef is tender. Add the noodles directly to the pan, where they’ll soak up all the savory flavor.

Serving and Storing Your Beef and Noodles

To make cleanup a breeze and ensure your meal stays fresh, store leftovers in airtight Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 (3.2 Cup). This not only locks in flavors but also allows for easy reheating, making your next meal just as delicious as the first.

Serve your beef and noodles with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley and a side of crusty bread, or add a light salad for contrast.

Instructions

1. Begin by prepping your vegetables and beef. For quick and uniform chopping, use the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper. Set aside.
2. Heat the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch over medium-high with 1 tbsp oil. Season the beef with salt and pepper, then sear in batches until browned. Remove and set aside.
3. Add remaining oil to the skillet. Sauté onion, carrots, and celery for about 3–4 minutes until softened, then stir in garlic for another minute.
4. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir to coat for 1 minute, then slowly whisk in the beef broth. Allow the mixture to simmer, scraping up any browned bits.
5. Return the beef (and any accumulated juices) to the skillet. Add thyme and parsley. Simmer uncovered on low for 15–20 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.
6. While the sauce simmers, cook egg noodles according to package instructions in a separate pot, or use your skillet if large enough. Drain and stir into the beef mixture.
7. For a lump-free sauce, use the Farberware Professional Heat Resistant Nylon Meat and Potato Masher to combine ingredients smoothly.
8. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Store leftovers in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 (3.2 Cup) for easy reheating.
