Noodles with Tender Beef
  1. 1

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat; cook the steak in batches until seared and browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer the seared steak to a plate.

  2. 2

    Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium heat and sauté the onion until softened, 5 to 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the steak to the onion in the skillet; pour in the beef stock and season with the bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the steak is tender, about 50 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir the peas and cornstarch into the steak mixture; cook uncovered until the liquid thickens, about 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but slightly firm, about 5 minutes; drain.

  6. 6

    Serve the beef mixture over the noodles.
