Comforting Braised Beef Over Noodles

I come from a long line of southern women, and if you know anything about a southern woman, then you know they love to cook up hearty comfort foods. This is the time of the year that I really start to think about the women who have shaped my life- my grandmas, my mom, my mother-in-law and my stepmom, and how they are/were mighty fine cooks. I don't think that many would disagree that nothing beats a good home cooked meal, and I rarely skipped out on dinner growing up around some of the most amazing ladies who sure knew their way around a kitchen. Of course, they all had their own signature dish, but the one comfort meal that they all served up time and time again was beef and noodles. It was a meal that you would never catch me saying no to, and my stepmom was especially fond of making it for me anytime I requested it for dinner. She's been gone for a few years now, but as the cooler weather approaches, I think about her most. She loved fall and had a passion for Halloween that would rival my own. After checking out the new Halloween displays and thinking about how much my Lisa would have giggled over the new offerings at the store last week, I decided to buy some egg noodles, then came home and made this Braised Beef Over Noodles recipe from Golden Blossom Honey in her honor.

Braised Beef Over Noodles

This is a really easy, yet comforting recipe for cooler weather. You can make it vegetarian by omitting the beef, cook the sauce per recipe instructions (swap out the beef broth for vegetable broth), then towards the end of the cook time, saute some sliced mini Bella mushrooms and stir into the sauce before serving. The only thing I would do different on this recipe is add in mashed potatoes. All of the women in my family usually plop a scoop of mashed potatoes onto the plate first, cover with another scoop of noodles, then top with the sauce. It's totally up to you, but that's just how we roll in this family. 


Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 pounds lean beef stew meat cut into 1-inch cubes

  3. That is a lovely family story, deary.
    Sadly, none of the ladies in my family knew how to cook, grannies never, mother used to give me tummy ache all the time with her cooking. My part of the country does like to cook hearty food as it is a farming region, so we cooked everything of pig's fat which turned me into a pig myself in teen years LOL The only ingredients they use here is flour, eggs, fat, potatoes and onions.

    1. Don't get me wrong, southern women love to cook in bacon grease too. It's a sin to throw it out in the south! It's amazing how many delicious foods you can make with just those few simple ingredients- flour, eggs, fat, potatoes and onions.

  4. I have to admit I do love a good noodles meal, my other half would love the addition of beef, so hands up this is such a great dish for the two of us. I will have to see if I am any good at making it!

    We have a lot of slow cooker meals for easy, comfort meals.

  7. I know I say this too often, but your pictures really are lovely. Is that how you set the table consistently? I need to step up my plating game!

    This dish seems similar to stew but put over pasta instead. I've never heard of it, but it does sound different. My cousin recently moved to the south (NC). I will share this with her because she's trying to fit in! I still giggle when I hear her say "Sweet tea and Jesus" in her Long Island accent. lol

    1. Thank you, Jax! No, my table never looks this nice, with the exception of Thanksgiving, Easter and Christmas. We just load up our plates then fill our face lol.

      Sweet Tea and Jesus are both staples in the south LOL! Though, it's not a saying that I ever picked up on (though I'm sure your friend is hearing plenty of good ones in NC. We grew up in TN and SC and boy, those women know how to throw out some hilarious threats!

  8. Yum, this looks like a delicious meal. I come from a family who aren't the best cooks. I wish! I think I could manage to put this together without burning it though.

  18. My grandma made beef and noodles and it was a family staple for Sunday dinners (which we all had at her house). I remember her letting me help knead the dough and roll the noodles out. When I got older she's let me help cut and spread them out to dry. Some of my fondest memories of my gram are in her kitchen. Thanks for the memories, and the great sounding and looking recipe.

  19. This dish looks so good. I'm hungry but due to bronchitis nothing sounds that great except sweets. I could use some good honey too. I will have to give this recipe a try once I feel normal again and my appetite returns.

  21. looking so rich and delicious, Theresa. My kids love 'sweet beef' so I usually cook them in big batch and simply put them on top of noodles, rice, or even bread
