Creamy Beef Tips with Egg Noodles is a classic American dish that is both rich and satisfying. Tender beef tips are cooked in a creamy mushroom sauce and served over a bed of egg noodles. This recipe is perfect for a cozy family dinner or when you're looking for a comforting meal. With a prep time of 15 minutes and a cook time of 40 minutes, this dish can be easily prepared on a weeknight. Serve it with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad to complete the meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound beef sirloin tips, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Season the beef tips with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sliced mushrooms. Cook until the vegetables are softened and the mushrooms have released their moisture.
  4. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute.
  5. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to combine. Cook for 2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.
  6. Slowly pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until thickened.
  7. Stir in the heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme. Return the beef tips to the skillet and simmer for another 10 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  8. While the beef is simmering, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until they are al dente. Drain and set aside.
  9. To serve, spoon the beef tips and creamy sauce over a bed of cooked egg noodles. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
  10. Enjoy the creamy beef tips with egg noodles while hot, and serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad, if desired.
