Preheat dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat.
Once the pot is preheated, add the beef to the pot, stirring while it browns. When the beef is browed, add the garlic and stir until combined.
Add the remaining ingredients except for the brown gravy mix.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and simmer for two hours, stirring occasionally.
Cook egg noodles according to package instructions. While egg noodles are cooking, dissolve brown gravy mix into 1¼ cups cold water.
Bring the stew back to a boil. Slowly pour the gravy mixture into the pot, stirring constantly. Let boil for about a minute, then reduce to a simmer and re-cover.
Serve stew over egg noodles. (You could also just drain the egg noodles after they cook and add them directly to the soup pot.)
