A hearty, flavorful beef and onion dish with a creamy horseradish sauce, perfect for comforting family dinners and casual gatherings with rich gravy and tender meat.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut up onions and sauté them in a deep pot.
- Add the chuck steak and jar of horseradish sauce to the pot.
- When the horseradish jar is empty, fill it with cooking wine and pour it into the pot.
- Cover the pot and cook over medium heat until the meat is tender.
- In a separate pot, cook the wide noodles according to package instructions.
- When the meat is done, cut it into slices or chunks and serve over the noodles with lots of gravy.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding garlic or Worcestershire sauce to the sautéed onions. If you prefer a milder dish, use less horseradish sauce or substitute it with a creamy horseradish sauce. To save time, you can use pre-sliced onions or frozen wide noodles. This recipe is also reminiscent of hearty American recipes, making it a comforting meal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the beef and gravy generously over the wide noodles, and consider garnishing with fresh parsley for a pop of color. This dish pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables or a simple green salad. For a twist, try serving alongside Karo Krazy Crunch for a sweet contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to maintain moisture. If you prefer, you can reheat in the microwave, ensuring even heating by stirring halfway through.
