Savory Beef Paprika Noodle Delight

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp of vegetable oil
• 2 lbs of round steak, chopped into small bites
• 2 cups of water (or more if necessary)
• 2 cups of ketchup
• 1 cup of thinly sliced onion
• ¼ cup of Worcestershire sauce
• ¼ cup of brown sugar
• 2 tbsp of paprika
• 2 tbsp of dry mustard
• 2 cloves of chopped garlic
• Salt and ground black pepper to your liking
• 1 package (16 oz) of egg noodles

Step 1

Begin by warming oil in a sizable pot over medium heat, allowing it to heat up. Then, proceed to sauté the steak in the heated oil until it turns a rich, golden brown, which typically takes around 5 minutes.

Step 2

Next, combine water, ketchup, onions, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, paprika, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper with the steak in the pot. Once mixed, bring the concoction to a gentle boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and continue cooking until the meat reaches a tender state, and the savory sauce achieves a thicker consistency. This slow-cooking process usually takes 2 to 3 hours, so patience is key to achieving a delightful result.

Step 3

Meanwhile, in a separate large pot, prepare a pot of water lightly seasoned with salt. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, add the egg noodles and stir occasionally. Cook them until they reach the desired firmness, typically around 5 minutes. Once ready, drain the noodles.

Step 4

To serve, generously spoon the tantalizing beef mixture over the cooked noodles, creating a hearty and satisfying meal. This flavorful dish is sure to be a hit at any gathering or family dinner.
