Preparation

  1. In a large, oven safe heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Cook the onions and bell pepper for 4–5 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic and flour. Cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring with a wooden spoon.
  3. Add the water, thyme, bay leaf, and onion soup mix. Season with pepper and scrape the bottom of the pot with the wooden spoon.
  4. Bring to a boil, then add the lasagna noodle pieces. Simmer for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the noodles are al dente.
  5. Meanwhile, in a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the sliced steak for 4–6 minutes. Remove from heat.
  6. Remove the bay leaf and thyme sprig from the pot. Add the cooked steak and stir. If desired, top with croutons. Sprinkle with cheese.
  7. Set the oven to broil. Broil for 3–4 minutes, until the cheese is golden.
  8. When serving, garnish with fresh parsley.
