Beef Stew with Mushrooms Over Egg Noodles
A hearty beef stew that's loaded with flavor from mushrooms, garlic, onions, and fresh thyme. I serve my beef stew with mushrooms over a bed of egg noodles. Tender chunks of beef with slow cooked mushrooms surrounded by so many bold flavors. It is the ultimate comfort food!
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- Egg noodles cooked (for serving)
- 1 1/2 pounds beef stew meat sirloin cut into thin strips of cubes
- 4 tablespoons flour divided
- 4 tablespoons 1/2 stick salted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3/4 cup chopped onions
- 6 cloves garlic thinly sliced or minced
- 8 ounces crimini mushrooms sliced
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 cups beef broth or chicken broth or mushroom broth
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 cup defrosted peas
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour over the meat along with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and toss to coat, set aside.
- In a large dutch oven, melt the butter and olive oil together. Add the meat over medium high heat in batches; remove to a plate when browned, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
- Add the onions and garlic to the pan. Don't worry about the brown bits at the bottom. Sauté for 2 minutes over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and continue to cook for another 2 minutes. Pour in the red wine vinegar and gently scrape the bottom of the pot to help life the browned bits. Add the beef broth and red pepper flakes. Allow to come to a boil, add in the browned meat along with the thyme sprigs. Reduce the heat to low, cover and let simmer for 35-45 minutes.
- Mix the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour with a few tablespoons of water in a mason jar and shake to combine. Pour into the stew. Allow to cook and thicken for an additional 5-7 minutes. Turn off the heat, let stew sit for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve over a bed of egg noodles. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, if desired.
Notes
- Feel free to add in your favorite veggies if you'd like. Frozen peas and carrots can be added instead of just the peas if you'd like a little more color.
