Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds sirloin or chuck beef tips, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 8 ounces cremini or white button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups low sodium beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 12 ounces wide egg noodles
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Slice the mushrooms, chop the onion, mince the garlic, and cut the beef into 1-inch bite-sized pieces. (About 10 minutes)
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook according to package instructions (7–9 minutes) until al dente. Drain and toss with 1 tablespoon butter. Cover and keep warm.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef tips in a single layer and brown for 3–4 minutes per side. Remove beef and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Cook onions until softened, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until browned and moisture evaporates, 5–7 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds.
  5. Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and onions. Stir constantly for 1–2 minutes to cook out raw flour taste and form roux.
  6. Slowly whisk in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook until gravy thickens, about 5 minutes.
  7. Lower heat to medium-low and stir in heavy cream. Add seared beef tips back to skillet. Simmer gently for 5 minutes to meld flavors and warm beef. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve creamy beef tips and mushroom gravy over buttered egg noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

If gravy is too thick, add a splash of broth or cream to loosen. Keep heat low after adding cream to prevent curdling. Rest meat after searing if possible to keep beef tender. For gluten-free, use gluten-free flour and pasta. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with coconut or cashew cream and use dairy-free butter.
