Ingredients
Scale
Beef Tips
- 1 lb beef stew meat or sirloin tips, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Buttery Noodles
- 8 oz egg noodles
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove beef and set aside.
- Sauté aromatics: In the same skillet, add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until onions are translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Simmer beef in broth: Return the browned beef to the skillet. Add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir well, bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 20-30 minutes, or until beef is tender and sauce has thickened slightly.
- Cook noodles: Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually 6-8 minutes, until al dente. Drain well.
- Combine and serve: Toss the drained noodles with unsalted butter and a pinch of salt. Serve the buttery noodles topped with the savory beef tips and sauce. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Use sirloin tips for a leaner, more tender option.
- Adjust seasoning to your preference; adding a splash of red wine to the beef broth adds depth.
- For thicker sauce, uncover and simmer beef tips longer to reduce liquid.
- Add fresh parsley as garnish for color and freshness.
