Ingredients for 2
- beef
- chicken stock
- onions
- flour
- butter
- Worchestershire sauce or something similar
- dijon or honey dijon mustard
- egg noodles
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
Dice an onion.
-
Cut beef into bite-size strips. Ground beef can also be used (although not traditional), if beef is compacted into strips of similar size.
-
Season the beef with kosher salt, freshly-ground pepper, or any other desired seasoning.
-
Heat a skillet on high with butter or olive oil. Cook the onions until about translucent.
-
Begin adding the beef strips and let them cook, stirring to prevent sticking or unequal cooking.
-
Meanwhile, heat up a pot of highly salted water until it boils. Then add the egg noodles. Do not cook for too long as egg noodles might begin disintegrating when overcooked.
-
Once beef is cooked, pour off the liquid produced from the meat.
-
Add the chicken stock to the pan and continue cooking.
-
Make roux (by mixing a small amount of flour with either water or melted butter). Mix this into the beef and stock as it cooks to thicken it to the desired consistency.
-
Add Worchestershire sauce and the dijon mustard to taste.
-
Serve on a plate with a scoop of egg noodles covered with the beef sauce.
