Made dinner together tonight, and we both couldn't stop eating it! My hubby took more than half of it

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
2. While the onions are cooking, season the sliced beef with salt and pepper.
3. Once the onions are caramelized, add the beef to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Pour in the beef broth, water, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
6. Add the cooked noodles to the beef and onion mixture, stirring well to combine. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
7. Sprinkle the shredded Gruyère cheese over the top and cover the skillet for a few minutes to let the cheese melt. Serve hot.
Variations & Tips
For a more decadent version, you can add a splash of heavy cream to the sauce. Substitute the beef with mushrooms for a vegetarian option. If you prefer a bit more tang, add a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the mixture. For a twist, use Swiss cheese instead of Gruyère, or add a dash of red wine for depth of flavor.
