Not an Amish receipe and uses rump roast existed in 1pth century that I know of may go farther back.

This Amish Beef & Noodles recipe was adapted from one by Taylor Ann Spencer from Delish Test Kitchen. Thank you Taylor Ann!
Born and raised in central Pennsylvania "amish country" and we put the beef n noodles and thicken the broth a little almost into a thin gravy and put it over mashed potatoes.

Chef John - this reminds me of stuff at the county fair in Ohio. However, a couples of shot of Worcestershire sauce for the aromatics is needed. Quality beef broth is more difficult than chicken. My Rx is Trader Joe's augmented by BTB beef to taste. I don't understand why more families don't eat this type of fare at home. If you don't have green onion or chives for garnish, a handful of frozen peas from the freezer works.
@ARIZJOEThat sure was a tiny bowl for our Chef John. 🥲 This is very good and I make it quite often.
@mistergrendel32Moms is simpler, too simple. Simmer stew meat until tender, add salt pepper and noodles, cook until noodles done. Mashed potatoes are usually on the 2nd day. I enjoy bread and butter to sop up the broth
@woodstream6137My Grandmother made this all the time.
@ErikDylan-cp7bdI'd like to try that with spaetzle
@fmike15I bet a big dollop of sour cream would go great on that
@mightymarf265Maybe they use the meat from the horses they work to death
@dewey142And as of June 2026 you can make this for the mere price of $35
@gonecatnagain2667We usually shred the beef around here instead of using chunks.
@TheSmokeyDawnChef John is optimistic.
@illeagleproducts4uWOW!!! Made it as suggested, but I did add button mushrooms and 2 cloves of garlic.
This recipe has SERIOUS beef flavor - it's just a great recipe. If you like beef and noodles, you have to make this.
Oh, I was skeptical about using all 12 ounces of noodles with the amount of liquid. Don't worry, it works. Sorry for doubting you, Chef John.
Instead of noodles I use pearlescent barely!
@georgehoeflinger1400A little tomato paste,👍🏼
@Tom-jy3jdI am the apple strudel of the Amish noodle!
@WhogitDabiscuit33I know that he put the beef and the accumulated juices into the pot the first time, but he took them out again when he cooked the noodles. I was just wondering if you had to pour in the accumulated juices also the second time?
Asking for a friend.
" ... some hot carb on carb action", LOL
@LYLEWOLD❤❤❤❤
@shellyrust9872What is the size of the dutch oven?
@strattoniousThat looks really comforting. How did i not see this if i subscribed 7 years ago?
@sjelliott6660Gluten-free recipe? I beg 🙏🏼
@InsomniOwl_Unfortunately that’s $40 worth of meat 😞
@valkyrieelyn860Store bought dried noodles????????😶
@rshots1530why kosher salt?salt is salt?
@jarrodevans7655You made me sooooo hungry!
@goodguy1013I have made this 3x. Its absolutely fantastic but you have to use bought stock or broth. If you attempt to make it with bullion it will be too salty and not taste as good.
@DUIDave-s1kThis turned out amazing! Highly recommend and am making not even a week later 😋
@maxzakhcan I use stewing beef?
@patvanschaik4271Shame on you , garlic powder rather than fresh garlic ?
@michaelhunyadi5087No chili flakes?
@endoalley680I usually eat half the beef before I'm done testing.
@63ah1275I brown the whole piece of meat and then slice it. It's far less likely to steam.
@63ah1275This guy (bless his heart) has an irritating voice!
@jonischwarz6280Ok. I'm hoping everyone is just being funny. The RECIPE is Amish NOT the beef....
@valeriespringstead7244I can't stand onions, especially cooked, ever since having COVID a few years back. Onions don't taste the same at all anymore. Always disappointed now when a recipe looks so good but relies so heavily on onions for flavor! 😢
@SamanthaCSmith-z8zwhatever the amish do is good,we need more amish influence and their knowledge of farming and community,old school culture that is good for family and community not emphasizing one mans wealth
@richardconnelly7141I don’t have a Dutch oven, it’s polish. Will that still work? Asking for a friend.
@Femur15Looks like way too much broth, but I like! Lol
@mariorodriguez6112I thought the bowl would be empty by the end of the video.
@panagea2007I have been making this recipe for most of my life. I learned it from my mother. I didn't know it was Amish. I thought it was midwestern WASP.
@BruceEEvans1Isn't that beef Stroganoff minus the cream & mustard? Looks good. I want to add peas and more black pepper.
@derekray1776I love beef and noodles. Your looks very good
@debbiedibble1086Chef John, you are Awesome! Thank you!
I have seen you cook (online). Thank you again!
This is a great cover .i actually haven’t heard a better version ,. Even the orig…
@theskitteringcoyoteI’m not Amish, but we also always served it over mashed potatoes when mom made it. I haven’t had beef and noodles in a long time, I’m making this tomorrow. Thanks, Chef John!
@arvelcrynyd6311Ok, since when did beef become Amish? What is an Amish cow? "Mooooo, I'm Amish, let's raise a barn so I can live in it."
@TheblankwindowThis is also good served over cooked cabbage wedges ❤
@brendadixon221I added four anchovy fillets to the onions and flour and the Unami hit was perfect.
