Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Add 1 pound of beef stew meat to the pot, ensuring pieces are in a single layer for even cooking. Sprinkle with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sear the beef for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until nicely browned on all sides.
  3. Stir in a 10.5 oz can of French onion soup and 3 cups of beef broth, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the pot's bottom. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and allow it to cook on low heat for about 10 minutes.
  4. Add 12 oz of egg noodles to the pot, stirring to combine with the beef mixture. Continue to simmer for an additional 10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and fully cooked.
  5. Remove the pot from heat and stir in ½ cup of sour cream and ¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the sauce is creamy and smooth.
  6. Ladle the warm French Onion Beef and Noodles into serving bowls and top each portion with a generous handful of French fried onions. Serve hot alongside crusty bread or a fresh salad.
