Frequently asked questions
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.
