Description:
Looking for a delicious way to repurpose your leftover steak? This Beef Noodle Soup is the perfect solution! If you’re starting with raw meat, take a little extra time to simmer it in water to ensure it’s tender. You can skip browning the beef with the veggies if you’ve boiled it separately. Let’s dive into this hearty and comforting recipe!
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound beef, cooked or raw (see note in description)
- 1 green onion, chopped
- 1 celery stalk, chopped
- 7 cups beef broth
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 carrot, shredded
- 2 1/2 cups egg noodles
Instructions:
-
Heat the Skillet: Start by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
-
Saute the Ingredients: If your beef is raw, add it to the skillet along with the chopped onion and celery. Saute for about 3 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the beef is browned. If you’ve already boiled the beef, you can skip this step.
-
Transfer to Pot: Transfer the cooked beef and vegetables to a large pot. Add the beef broth, pepper, and bay leaf. If you haven’t boiled the beef yet, ensure the broth covers the beef entirely. If the beef is already cooked, you can add it directly to the pot.
-
Bring to a Boil: Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
-
Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes. This allows all the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Add Carrots and Noodles: After simmering, add the shredded carrots and egg noodles to the pot. Cook according to the directions on the package of noodles. This usually takes a few minutes until the noodles are tender.
-
Serve: Before serving, don’t forget to remove the bay leaf for a smooth dining experience. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and enjoy the comforting aroma and flavors of this Beef Noodle Soup!
