Step 1

Start by heating some oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the steak and cook it, stirring occasionally, until it’s nicely browned all over—this should take about 5 minutes. Next, pour in the water, ketchup, chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, paprika, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper. Give everything a good stir to combine, then bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat and let it simmer gently. You’ll want to cook it for 2 to 3 hours until the beef is really tender and the sauce has thickened up nicely. While the beef is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles in the boiling water for about 5 minutes, or until they’re tender but still have a little bite. Drain the noodles well, then serve the beef mixture spooned over the top. Enjoy!

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Brown the beef well before adding the paprika to deepen the flavor.
- Use sweet or smoked paprika depending on your taste preference.
- Avoid overcooking the noodles to keep them tender but firm.

Serving ideas

Serve with a side of steamed green vegetables or a fresh salad to add brightness. A dollop of sour cream on top can also enhance the creamy texture and balance the spices.

Storage & leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave to keep the beef tender and the noodles from drying out.
