Instructions

Sauté the Onions: Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until caramelized and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 more minutes until fragrant.
Brown the Beef: Push onions to the side of the pot. Add beef stew meat, season with salt and pepper, and brown on all sides for about 5-7 minutes.
Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Stir in thyme and rosemary. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for about 1 hour, or until the beef is tender.
Cook the Noodles: Stir in egg noodles and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until tender.
Add Cheese and Serve: Stir in shredded Swiss cheese until melted. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Cheese Options: You can substitute Gruyère, provolone, or mozzarella for Swiss cheese if preferred.
Noodle Substitutions: Egg noodles are traditional, but you can use any pasta you like, such as pappardelle or rotini.
Make Ahead: The dish can be made in advance and reheated. Add a little extra broth when reheating to maintain moisture.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop or microwave, adding a splash of water or broth to refresh.
