How To Make beef & noodles with a mystery ingredient

  • Step 1
    Lightly dust beef cubes with flour and brown in a small amount of vegetable oil.
  • Step 2
    Leaving the meat in the pan, deglaze the pan with the red wine, and add both the onion soup mix and the mushroom soup.
  • Step 3
    Stir well to mix and bring to a slow boil, stirring occasionally.
  • Step 4
    Cover and let simmer for a couple of hours or until meat is tender.
  • Step 5
    Dice the dill pickle and add it and the pickle juice to the beef mixture. (Do NOT use kosher or garlic flavored pickles.)
  • Step 6
    The pickle is the secret ingredient for this dish and must be used to provide the right flavor.
  • Step 7
    Check the pan every 1/2 hour or so and stir to keep it from sticking.
  • Step 8
    I use a heat diffuser under the pan to ensure that the mixture doesn\'t stick.
