Not getting correct output when using async await inside forEach loop in Javascript

In this code, I am getting a value 34 in the newArr. Which is expected and correct.

var arr = [1, 2, 34, 5, 6, 67, 4]
var val = 34

var newArr = []

arr.forEach((elm) => {

  if (val == elm)
    newArr.push(elm)
})

console.log(newArr)

But when I am using async await I am not getting any value in newArr.

var arr = [1, 2, 34, 5, 6, 67, 4]
var val = 34

var newArr = []

arr.forEach(async(elm) => {
  await setTimeout(function() {}, 10);
  if (val == elm)
    newArr.push(elm)
})

console.log(newArr)

I am new to Javascript and not able to understand why this is not working as I am expecting.
