Ingredients
Instructions
- Cook stew beef in water with garlic salt, tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chopped onion until tender.
- Add potatoes, carrots, and celery to the stew and cook until vegetables are done.
- Cook egg noodles according to package instructions.
- Drain noodles and serve the beef stew on top of the noodles.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like thyme or bay leaves while cooking the stew. If you're short on fresh vegetables, frozen mixed veggies can be a great alternative. For a thicker sauce, you can add a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with cold water towards the end of cooking. This stew can also be made in a slow cooker for a more hands-off approach.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the beef stew hot over the cooked egg noodles for a comforting meal. A side of crusty bread or a simple garden salad can complement the dish nicely. This stew also pairs wonderfully with a glass of red wine, enhancing the hearty flavors. For a twist, try it alongside the Easy Bake Round Steak for a beef-filled dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover stew in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm it on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring occasionally, or microwave in a bowl until heated through. If the stew thickens too much, add a splash of water or broth to loosen it up.
