Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz egg noodles
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup (or cream of beef soup if preferred)
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • to taste salt
  • 1 lb beef sirloin or flank steak cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp butter for beef
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Equipment

  • Large pot for boiling noodles
  • Large skillet for the sauce
  • Medium skillet for cooking beef
  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Colander for draining noodles
  • Tongs for tossing noodles

Method
 

  1. Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions until they’re al dente. Drain them and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  3. While the sauce is simmering, heat 2 tablespoons of butter in another skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef pieces, seasoning with Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic. Cook the beef for 6-8 minutes until browned and cooked to your liking.
  4. Once the beef is ready, add it to the creamy sauce and stir well. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the beef and sauce, gently tossing until the noodles are well coated in the creamy mixture.

Notes

For a healthier twist, use whole wheat noodles and low-sodium soup. You can substitute the cream of mushroom soup with a homemade béchamel sauce for a fresher approach. Adding colorful steamed vegetables such as broccoli or carrots can enhance both nutrition and presentation. If you have leftovers, store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
