Savory Mississippi Beef Noodles Recipe Delight Today
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef chuck roast, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix
- 1 packet au jus gravy mix
- 1 cup beef broth
- 0.5 cup pepperoncini peppers, sliced (with some juice)
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 2 cups fresh spinach, packed
- to taste salt and pepper
- for garnish grated Parmesan cheese
- for garnish fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef chunks and season with salt and pepper. Sear the beef until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the beef is browned, sprinkle the ranch dressing mix and au jus gravy mix evenly over the meat. Pour the beef broth into the skillet and add the sliced pepperoncini with a splash of the juice. Stir well to combine.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and can be shredded easily with a fork. Stir occasionally.
- While the beef is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Once the beef is ready, stir in the fresh spinach until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add the cooked egg noodles to the beef mixture, tossing gently to combine.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or pepperoncini juice as desired.
- Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
💡 Chef's Notes
Serve the beef noodles in shallow bowls, topped generously with Parmesan cheese and parsley for a pop of color. Add extra pepperoncini on the side for those who enjoy a little more tang!
