Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean beef, or veal, cut into bite-sized, 1-inch cubes

  • 4 tablespoons flour, divided

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • Pinch pepper

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 1/2 cup sliced onions

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 2 cups beef broth

  • 1/4 cup cold water

  • 1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes, slightly drained (do not press)

  • 1/2 cup milk, light cream, or half-and-half

  • 1 tablespoon sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 3 cups uncooked noodles, cooked and tossed with butter and poppy seeds, if desired

Steps to Make It

  1. Dredge beef with 2 tablespoons flour mixed with 1 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a Dutch oven; brown dredged beef with onions, stirring to brown all sides. Add garlic and 2 cups broth.

  3. To the meat mixture, add tomatoes, milk or cream, sugar, seasoned salt, and Worcestershire sauce. If necessary to thicken more, mix together more flour and water and stir the mixture into the broth.
