Ingredients

• 1 pound Beef tenderloin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 12 ounces Egg noodles
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons Flour
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Season the beef tenderloin with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then sear the tenderloin for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into bite-sized pieces.

Step 4

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour into the skillet and stir to combine, forming a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then gradually whisk in the beef broth until smooth.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the sauce and stir until melted. Season the sauce with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Step 8

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked noodles, beef slices, peas, and the cheese sauce. Mix until evenly combined, then transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish.

Step 9

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the casserole.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling.

Step 11

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.
