1. [0:27](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LBA9in5OyQ&t=27s) Cut the beef chuck into uniform pieces between 1 and 2 inches in size, trimming away any large, solid pieces of fat.
2. [1:40](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LBA9in5OyQ&t=100s) Season the beef pieces thoroughly with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, tossing to coat.
3. [2:07](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LBA9in5OyQ&t=127s) Heat vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over high heat, then brown the beef in batches to avoid crowding, ensuring a nice crust forms.
4. [3:29](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LBA9in5OyQ&t=209s) Remove the browned beef from the pot and set aside, then turn off the heat.
5. [3:37](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LBA9in5OyQ&t=217s) Add a chunk of butter to the pot and turn the heat to medium-high.
6. [3:44](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LBA9in5OyQ&t=224s) Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt, cooking for about 5 minutes until they soften and start to turn golden.
7. [3:57](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LBA9in5OyQ&t=237s) Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for a couple of minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
8. [4:14](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LBA9in5OyQ&t=254s) Stir in the garlic powder and beef bouillon paste.
9. [5:04](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LBA9in5OyQ&t=304s) Pour in the beef broth, stir to combine, and bring the mixture to a boil.
10. [5:14](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LBA9in5OyQ&t=314s) Return the browned beef and any accumulated juices back into the pot.
11. [5:30](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LBA9in5OyQ&t=330s) Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for about 2 hours, or until the beef is very tender.
12. [5:51](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LBA9in5OyQ&t=351s) Use a slotted spoon or spider strainer to transfer the tender beef pieces to a bowl, leaving the broth in the pot.
13. [6:47](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LBA9in5OyQ&t=407s) Increase the heat to high, add a bit more beef broth to compensate for what the noodles will absorb, and bring to a boil.
14. [6:59](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LBA9in5OyQ&t=419s) Stir in the egg noodles and cook uncovered, stirring frequently, for about 7 minutes until tender.
15. [7:17](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LBA9in5OyQ&t=437s) Return the beef to the pot during the last 30 seconds of cooking, stirring to combine and heat through.
16. [7:25](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LBA9in5OyQ&t=445s) Reduce the heat to low, taste for seasoning, and adjust with salt and pepper if needed.
17. Serve hot, garnished with freshly ground black pepper and sliced green onions.
