Ingredients<\/h1>\n

For the Beef<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • 1 pound (450\u2013500 g) beef tips or stew beef, cut into bite-size cubes<\/li>\n
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil<\/li>\n
  • 1 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n
  • \u00bd teaspoon black pepper<\/li>\n
  • 1 teaspoon paprika<\/li>\n
  • \u00bd teaspoon garlic powder<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    For the Gravy Sauce<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • 2 tablespoons butter<\/li>\n
    • 1 medium onion, finely chopped<\/li>\n
    • 3 cloves garlic, minced<\/li>\n
    • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour<\/li>\n
    • 2 cups beef broth<\/li>\n
    • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce<\/li>\n
    • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional but recommended for deeper flavor)<\/li>\n
    • \u00bd teaspoon dried thyme<\/li>\n
    • \u00bd teaspoon black pepper<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      For the Noodles<\/h2>\n
        \n
      • 8\u201310 ounces egg noodles<\/li>\n
      • Water for boiling<\/li>\n
      • 1 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Optional Garnish<\/h2>\n
          \n
        • Fresh parsley, chopped<\/li>\n
        • Grated Parmesan cheese<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Instructions<\/h1>\n

          Step 1: Prepare the Beef<\/h2>\n

          Start by patting the beef pieces dry with paper towels. This helps them brown better when cooking.<\/p>\n

          Season the beef evenly with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Make sure the seasoning coats all sides of the meat.<\/p>\n

          Heat a large skillet or heavy pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the beef pieces in a single layer.<\/p>\n

          Allow the beef to sear for about 2\u20133 minutes per side<\/strong> without stirring too much. This creates a nice brown crust that adds flavor to the dish.<\/p>\n

          After the beef is browned on all sides, remove it from the skillet and place it on a plate. Do not clean the pan because the browned bits left in the pan will add flavor to the sauce.<\/p>\n

          Step 2: Cook the Aromatics<\/h2>\n

          Reduce the heat to medium.<\/p>\n

          Add butter to the same pan and allow it to melt. Then add the chopped onion.<\/p>\n

          Cook the onion for 3\u20134 minutes<\/strong>, stirring occasionally, until it becomes soft and slightly translucent.<\/p>\n

          Next, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute<\/strong>, stirring constantly so it does not burn.<\/p>\n

          Step 3: Make the Gravy<\/h2>\n

          Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture.<\/p>\n

          Stir well and cook for about 1\u20132 minutes<\/strong>. This step removes the raw flour taste and helps the sauce thicken later.<\/p>\n

          Gradually pour in the beef broth while whisking or stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.<\/p>\n

          Once the broth is fully incorporated, add:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • Worcestershire sauce<\/li>\n
          • Soy sauce (optional)<\/li>\n
          • Dried thyme<\/li>\n
          • Black pepper<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Stir everything together until the mixture becomes smooth.<\/p>\n

            Step 4: Simmer the Beef<\/h2>\n

            Return the browned beef to the skillet along with any juices that collected on the plate.<\/p>\n

            Reduce the heat to low and let the beef simmer in the sauce for about 20\u201325 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

            During this time, the sauce will slowly thicken and the beef will become tender. Stir occasionally to make sure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan.<\/p>\n

            If the sauce becomes too thick, you can add a little extra beef broth or water.<\/p>\n

            Step 5: Cook the Noodles<\/h2>\n

            While the beef is simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.<\/p>\n

            Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions, usually 7\u20139 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

            Stir occasionally so the noodles do not stick together.<\/p>\n

            Once cooked, drain the noodles in a colander. You can toss them with a small amount of butter to prevent sticking.<\/p>\n

            Step 6: Assemble the Dish<\/h2>\n

            To serve the meal:<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Place a portion of cooked egg noodles on each plate or bowl.<\/li>\n
            2. Spoon the beef tips and gravy generously over the noodles.<\/li>\n
            3. Garnish with chopped parsley or grated Parmesan cheese if desired.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              The noodles will soak up the rich sauce, making each bite flavorful and satisfying.<\/p>\n

              Tips for the Best Beef Tips and Noodles<\/h1>\n

              Choose the Right Cut of Beef<\/h3>\n

              Good options include:<\/p>\n

                \n
              • Sirloin tips<\/li>\n
              • Stew beef<\/li>\n
              • Chuck roast cut into cubes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                These cuts become tender when simmered.<\/p>\n

                Add Mushrooms<\/h3>\n

                Saut\u00e9 sliced mushrooms with the onions if you want a deeper flavor.<\/p>\n

                Make It Creamy<\/h3>\n

                For a creamier sauce, stir in 2 tablespoons of heavy cream or sour cream<\/strong> during the last few minutes of cooking.<\/p>\n

                Slow Cooker Option<\/h3>\n

                You can also cook this recipe in a slow cooker. After browning the beef, combine all sauce ingredients and cook on low for 6\u20137 hours<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

                Storage and Reheating<\/h1>\n

                Refrigerator:<\/strong>
                \nStore leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3\u20134 days<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

                Freezer:<\/strong>
                \nThe beef and sauce can be frozen for up to 3 months<\/strong>. It is best to cook fresh noodles when reheating.<\/p>\n

                Reheating:<\/strong>
                \nWarm the beef and sauce in a pan over medium heat, adding a little broth or water if needed.<\/p>\n
