French Onion Beef and Noodles pairs tender seared beef with sweet, caramel-kissed onions and springy egg noodles in a rich, tangy sauce enriched with sour cream and Parmesan. Each bite balances beefy depth with onion-forward savoriness, then gets a crunchy finish from French-fried onions and a fresh pop of parsley.

French Onion Beef and Noodles
  1. 1

    Assemble all the ingredients.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 4- to 5-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add beef stew meat and cook until well browned on all sides, stirring once or twice, 2 to 3 minutes. Move the meat from the Dutch oven to a plate.

  3. 3

    Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the Dutch oven. Add the onion and the garlic. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until tender and beginning to brown, about 6 minutes. If needed, add a splash of broth to the Dutch oven. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the Dutch oven.

  4. 4

    Return the beef to the Dutch oven. Add the remaining broth, the soup, and the pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, 25 to 30 minutes or until the meat is tender.

  5. 5

    Whisk the sour cream and Parmesan cheese together in a small bowl.

  6. 6

    Add about 1/2 cup of the hot broth mixture from the Dutch oven to the bowl and stir to combine.

  7. 7

    Pour the mixture back into the pot and stir to combine.

  8. 8

    Add the egg noodles to the pot. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 to 7 minutes or until the noodles and beef are tender.

  9. 9

    Top each serving with French-fried onions and parsley.
