Baked Stew (updated)

- 2 lbs. boneless beef chuck or round steak, cut into 1" cubes
1/4 cup flour
1 1/2 cups sliced carrots
1 can (14 to 16 oz) chopped tomatoes, undrained
1 envelope onion soup mix
1/2 cup dry red wine or water
1 cup fresh or canned mushrooms
8 oz. egg noodles
10" Dutch oven
Toss the beef in the flour and brown all over in olive oil in the Dutch oven. Stir in the carrots, tomatoes, mushrooms, wine and soup mix. Bake at 350° F for 1 hour, 40 minutes.
Cook the noodles in a pot and drain. If necessary, sprinkle with olive oil to prevent sticking. Serve the stew over the noodles.

Yes, that's steam coming off the stew.
