This dish pairs wonderfully with a freshly baked loaf of crusty bread to soak up the savory gravy. Consider serving it alongside a simple green salad with a light vinaigrette to balance the richness. For a true Midwestern touch, add a side of sweet corn or steamed green beans with a pat of butter. And don’t forget a slice of homemade pie for dessert to complete the meal. It creates a welcoming, uncomplicated dinner that everyone will love. To make it, you’ll need: 2 lbs of beef stew meat or chuck roast (cut into bite-sized pieces), 1 finely chopped onion, 3 cloves of minced garlic, 4 cups of beef broth, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1 tsp dried rosemary, 1 bay leaf, 3 cups egg noodles, 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup water, and 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce.
