How to make Beef and Noodles
The process of making beef and noodles is straightforward, yet the resulting flavors are anything but ordinary. You’ll start by browning bite-sized pieces of beef steak in a skillet. Once they’ve developed a nice crust, you’ll introduce onions and mushrooms to the pan, infusing the dish with incredible aromas. Following that, you’ll reintroduce the beef, adding savory liquids and seasonings, and letting everything simmer to perfection. Finally, you’ll toss in the cooked egg noodles for a dish that feels as good as it tastes.
