Follow The Directions

01

Step

Gather all ingredients for optimal efficiency.

02

Step

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a 4- to 5-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef stew meat and sear on all sides until deeply browned, approximately 2-3 minutes. Transfer the browned beef to a plate and set aside.

03

Step

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the Dutch oven. Introduce the thinly sliced sweet onion and minced garlic. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the onions are tender and begin to caramelize, about 6 minutes. If the pan becomes too dry, deglaze with a splash of beef broth, scraping up any flavorful browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.

04

Step

Return the seared beef to the Dutch oven. Pour in the remaining beef broth and condensed French onion soup. Season with ground black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the beef is fork-tender.

05

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and grated Parmesan cheese until smooth and well combined.

06

Step

Temper the sour cream mixture by gradually adding about 1/2 cup of the hot broth mixture from the Dutch oven to the bowl, stirring constantly to prevent curdling. This step ensures a smooth and creamy sauce.

07

Step

Pour the tempered sour cream mixture back into the Dutch oven and stir gently to incorporate it evenly into the beef and onion mixture.

08

Step

Add the egg noodles to the pot. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, for 5-7 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and cooked through.

09

Step

To serve, ladle the French Onion Beef and Noodles into bowls. Garnish generously with French-fried onions and a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley for a burst of freshness and added texture.

For a richer flavor, consider using a high-quality beef broth or homemade stock.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can whisk a tablespoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water and stir it into the pot during the last few minutes of cooking.
Feel free to add other vegetables, such as sliced mushrooms or carrots, to the pot along with the onions and garlic for added depth of flavor and nutrients.
For an extra layer of richness, consider adding a splash of dry sherry or red wine to the pot when deglazing with broth.
