If you have ever visited Ohio or Pennsylvania Amish country, you know that nothing compares to a piping hot bowl of **Amish Beef and Noodles**. Made with fall-apart tender slow-cooked beef, rich pan gravy, and thick, hearty homestyle egg noodles, this dish is pure Midwest comfort food.

  

### Recipe Summary: Amish Beef and Noodles

 

- ⏱️ **Prep Time:** 15 mins
- 🔥 **Simmer Time:** 1 hour 30 mins (or Instant Pot 45 mins)
- ⏳ **Total Time:** Hearty Weekend or Easy Stovetop
- 🍽️ **Servings:** 6 to 8 servings

## What Makes Amish Noodles Special?

 

Unlike thin commercial pasta, authentic Amish egg noodles are thick-cut, rolled with extra egg yolks, and dried slowly. When simmered directly in seasoned beef stock, they soak up rich meat juices while releasing starch that naturally thickens the gravy into velvet.

 

## Ingredients for Amish Beef and Noodles

 

- **2.5 to 3 lbs Beef Chuck Roast**, trimmed and cut into 2-inch chunks
- **2 tbsp Vegetable Oil or Lard**
- **1 Large Yellow Onion**, diced
- **3 Cloves Garlic**, minced
- **4 cups Low-Sodium Beef Stock or Bone Broth**
- **1 can (10.5 oz) French Onion Soup or Beef Consommé** (the secret Amish flavor booster)
- **2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce**
- **1 tsp Dried Thyme**
- **1 tsp Black Pepper & 1 tsp Salt**
- **16 oz Thick Amish Homestyle Egg Noodles** (such as Essenhaus or Kluski style)
- **2 tbsp Cornstarch + 3 tbsp Cold Water** (slurry, if extra thick gravy is desired)
- **Fresh Chopped Parsley** for garnish

 

## Step-by-Step Cooking Guide

 

### 1. Sear the Beef

 

Heat oil in a heavy Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat. Season the beef chunks generously with salt and pepper. Sear in batches for 3 to 4 minutes per side until deep golden brown crust forms. Remove beef to a plate.

 

### 2. Sauté Aromatics and Deglaze

 

Add diced onion to the pot and sauté for 4 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic for 1 minute. Pour in 1 cup of beef stock to scrape up the dark, caramelized bits from the bottom of the Dutch oven.

 

### 3. Simmer Until Tender

 

Return the seared beef chunks to the pot along with the remaining beef stock, French onion soup, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, and cook for 1.5 to 2 hours until the beef shreds effortlessly with two forks.

 

### 4. Shred the Beef and Cook Noodles

 

Remove beef chunks and shred coarsely. Return shredded beef to the simmering broth. Add the uncooked Amish egg noodles directly into the bubbling liquid. Stir gently, cover, and cook for 15 to 18 minutes until noodles are tender and plump.

 

### 5. Thicken Gravy (Optional)

 

If you prefer a thicker stew consistency, stir in the cornstarch slurry and simmer uncovered for 2 minutes until glossy and thick. Garnish with parsley.

 

## How to Serve Amish Style

 

In authentic Amish tradition, Beef and Noodles is famously served ladled directly over a generous mound of buttery mashed potatoes alongside sweet creamed corn and warm dinner rolls!
