Beef Tips with Noodles is a recipe that is restaurant worthy but easy enough to make in your own kitchen on the stove top.

HERE IS WHAT OUR READERS ARE SAYING:

“I didn’t have egg noodles (never do) so I used rice. This sauce was simply amazing! Tasted so complex, comforting, and rich! I added mushrooms, and used sirloin tips. So easy to adjust to what you have on hand or like! Will definitely make again, can’t wait to make for the rest of my family!” – Liz

Who doesn’t love a good steakhouse? There is something special about going. Steakhouses can be both casual and fancy and I love an old-school experience, and you know you’ll be getting a hearty meal.

Salad bar, yummy sides like garlic roasted mashed potatoes or roasted mushrooms. But, let’s be honest, they can get expensive pretty quickly!

But, now, with today’s tender beef tips recipe, you can get that same experience at home. I paired mine with egg noodles, just like my Mom always did.

This recipe is reminiscent of my childhood. My Mom used to make this for me (and still does!), loaded with caramelized onions, a rich gravy and other simple ingredients the whole family loves it!

This great recipe, even with the list being more than a handful of ingredients, it is still a super easy dish to whip up. It doesn’t take much time at all.

This is our favorite meal to make in the cooler months because it is so comforting and really brings me back memories, and fills me full of warmth. But we still enjoy our Beef Tips with Noodles all year long.

Some of my other favorite comfort recipes we have on our site include Baked Macaroni and Cheese, Crockpot Swedish Meatballs and Mississippi Pot Roast!

ANY ADDITIONS?

I think this stuff is tasty any time of year. It’s a simple recipe that takes beef to a new level.

The best comfort food ever!

  • Mushrooms: Sliced mushrooms add a lot of flavor and an earthy depth of flavor.
  • Green Beans: Toss in some steamed green beans for a fresh and crunchy texture.
  • Peas: Add a pop of color and sweetness with a cup of peas, making it a great option for extra veggies.
  • Carrots: Include sliced carrots for more ingredient quantities and a touch of sweetness.
  • Bell Peppers: Diced bell peppers can add a nice crunch and color to the beef mixture.
  • Corn: Sweet corn kernels provide a lovely contrast to the savory beef tips and noodles.
  • Cheddar Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top for an ultimate comfort food experience.
  • Hot Sauce: Add a dash of hot sauce for some heat and more definition of comfort food.
  • Sour Cream: Stir in a dollop of sour cream for a creamy texture and an additional layer of flavor.
  • Worcestershire Sauce: A few drops can enhance the depth of flavor in the beef mixture, making it even more delicious. Soy sauce works too!

CAN THIS BE MADE AHEAD?

Yes, you can! I tend to do this on the weekends.

You can make your caramelized onions ahead of time, cut your beef, and mix up the sauce ahead of time. This will cut down on at least 20 minutes of prep!

WHAT CUT OF STEAK IS THE BEST TO USE?

I recommend flank for this recipe, but sometimes it might not be on sale at the store.

You can use any beef that you can cook quickly such as beef stew meat, beef tenderloin, sirloin tip roast, rib eye, or even pre-cut stir-fry beef.

If in doubt, ask your butcher! Just remember to cut the beef into bite-sized pieces.

This easy recipe shouldn’t be left out at room temperature for too long so if you have leftovers it’s easiest for us to place them in an airtight container like a ziptop bag or Tupperware container.

Place it in the refrigerator and it should last up to 3-4 days. You can reheat it on the stove or in the microwave.

They are still great the next day so, yay for leftover night!

I do not recommend freezing.

DANA’S TIPS AND TRICKS:

  • This makes a large batch, but you can easily double it to feed more or halve the recipe as needed.
  • Tons of custom options, see my tips above on that.
  • Great for a make-ahead dish.
  • We really recommend the flank steak as notated above, it is just a really tender cut of beef.
  • You can spoon the beef tips onto the noodles or you can mix the noodles into the mixture itself.
  • I do not recommend freezing this recipe, the noddles will get soggy when defrosting.
  • Make sure you press you beef down to brown it really helps the texture.

  2. Your soup recipes are great the I have come across.

  3. 4 stars
    Very nice and pretty simple. Flouring (or using cornstarch) on the flank steak before hand is so important. The difference between dried out and tender/moist. Thanks for posting this!

    We absolutely loved this!
    I did thicken it up at the end with corn starch and water.
    Great flavor even though I used dry herbs.
