Korean Braised Beef and Pappardelle Noodles

Every once in a while I'll see an interesting product on the grocery shelf and buy it knowing I'll get around to making something out of it some day. Safeway Select makes a couple different simmer sauces. I thought the Korean simmer sauce looked really good and it was actually amazing.

Ingredients:
1 pound beef stew meat
1 jar Safeway select Korean Simmer Sauce
Pappardelle noodles
1 diced green onion
Sesame seeds

Preparation:
Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat a 10" square sided oven proof sauté pan medium to high. Cut the meat into large cubes. Add some olive oil to the sauté pan and then the meat. Brown the meat on all sides, add the Korean simmer sauce, cover and place in the oven for 1- 1/2 hours.
 
After an hour and a half, the meat should be fork tender, if not cook for another 15 minutes and you're ready to serve.
 
I know it's hard to plan ahead, but if you can make this dish the day before and let sit in the refrigerator overnight it's worth it because meat soaks up all the flavor from the sauce. 
 
Cook the pasta according to the directions which is usually about 10 minutes in a large stock pot of rapidly boiling salted water. Drain the noodles and toss in some olive oil, cover and set a side until you're ready to plate the dish.
 
To serve, place some of the sauce on the plate, add some Pappardelle noodles and top with the meat. Garnish with diced green onions and sesame seeds.
