12 ounces egg noodles I used yolk-free egg noodles
2 tablespoons butter or olive oil divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 pound beef of choice such as chuck steak or beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch pieces
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups beef broth
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Chopped fresh parsley for serving

Cook the egg noodles according to the package directions. Drain and return to the pot. While still warm, add 1 tablespoon of the butter and toss to coat.
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned on all sides. Season the beef with salt and black pepper. Transfer the beef to a plate.
Melt the butter in the same pan over medium heat. When the butter is bubbly, whisk in the flour until smooth. Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 2 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
Return the beef to the pan with any accumulated juices from the plate. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes to heat through. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
Spoon the beef over the noodles and top with parsley.
