12ounceswide egg noodles
1cupfrozen peas
1/2cupheavy cream
2tablespoonscornstarch
Instructions
Add the beef to a large mixing bowl and season generously with salt and pepper. Add the flour and toss to combine.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat.
Add the beef to the pot in a single layer not crowding the pan and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides. (Cook in batches.) Transfer the beef to a clean plate. Repeat the process with 1 tablespoon oil and the beef, then transfer the beef to a platter and keep warm.
Add the onion to the pot and sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add the mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the beef stock, the cooked beef, Italian seasoning and bay leaf and stir to combine.
Continue cooking until the broth begins to boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2.5 hours or until the beef shreds easily with a fork.
Remove and discard the bay leaf and thyme sprigs.
Turn the heat to medium high and bring to a boil. Add the egg noodles, peas and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, approximately 8 minutes.
Remove the pot from the heat. In a small bowl, whisk together the cream and the cornstarch. Stir the mixture into the beef and noodles. Cook for 10 minutes or until slightly thickened.
Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Serve immediately, garnished with a few extra twists of black pepper, and enjoy!
