Good questions, answered.

Can I use a different cut of beef?

Chuck roast cut into cubes works great and becomes very tender with the long simmer.

Can I make this in an Instant Pot?

Yes, pressure cook the beef for about 25 minutes, then use the saute function to cook the noodles directly in the broth.
