Step-by-Step Instructions for Beef Tips and Noodles

  • Begin by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter, allowing it to melt, and then toss in the diced onion. Sauté for about 3–4 minutes until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
  • Next, add the 1.5 pounds of cubed beef to the skillet alongside the onions. Brown the beef on all sides for approximately 8–10 minutes.
  • Pour in 2 cups of beef broth, then add 3 bay leaves, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
  • Cover the skillet and let the dish simmer for 20–30 minutes until the beef becomes fork-tender.
  • In a small bowl, mix ¼ cup of cornstarch with 1 cup of cold water to create a slurry, then gradually stir this mixture into the skillet.
  • While the gravy thickens, bring a separate pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the 8 ounces of egg noodles according to package directions.
  • To assemble your dish, spoon the tender beef and rich gravy generously over the warm egg noodles.

Notes

Choose the right cut of beef for the best flavor and tenderness. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
