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

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 and a rich gravy, 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 taken much time at all.

We love making this 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 and 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!

WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS:

• Flank steak is a tender and juicy cut of meat that is easily paid with noodles.
• The variety of spices and flavors in this dish makes it super flavorful – perfect for busy weeknights.
• The gravy makes everything all come together and really compliments this recipe.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED (SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST FOR THE FULL RECIPE CARD):

• Sweet onion
• Unsalted butter
• Kosher salt
• Black pepper
• Granulated sugar
• Red wine
• Flank steak
• All-purpose flour
• Vegetable oil
• Garlic
• Fresh rosemary
• Fresh thyme
• Steak sauce ( I use A1)
• Beef stock or beef broth
• Egg Noodles
• Parsley

HOW TO MAKE BEEF TIPS AND NOODLES:

1. Place onion and 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the salt and sugar and stir constantly for about 25 minutes until browned. Add a splash of the red wine to the pan to deglaze, scrapping off any browned bits from the bottom. Spoon onto a plate and set aside. Wipe out the pan.
2. While the onions are cooking, season the beef with the salt and the pepper. Toss in the flour. Add the vegetable oil to the pan after the onions are done cooking over medium-high heat. Add the meat and press down. Allow to brown and flip, about 4 minutes. Continue to cook until about 3/4 of the way done. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
3. Add to the pan the remaining butter, the garlic and the fresh herbs. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant over medium heat. Add the onions back into the pan. Sprinkle in the remaining flour and cook for 2 minutes, whisking the ingredients together.
4. While the onions and the flour cooks, mix together the steak sauce and beef stock in a small bowl.
5. Add the remaining wine to the pan and deglaze, scrapping any browned bits off the bottom. Whisk in the sauce mixture slowly until combined. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
6. Add the beef back into the pan for another 5 minutes to cook through. Serve over No Yolks Broad Noodles or mix the cooked noodles into the pot and coat with the sauce.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS RECIPE:

WHAT TO SERVE THIS WITH?

You can serve the delicious beef tips over the noodles or on the side, whichever you prefer.

We like to mix everything together in our house, yum! I served it with some roasted mushrooms. But, it’s really a meal all on its own!

Some of my other favorite Steakhouse recipes include:

• Roasted Mushrooms with Garlic Butter Sauce
• Bacon Ranch Twice Baked Potatoes
• Creamed Spinach with Bacon
• Garlic Pull Apart Bread

Other yummy items to serve this with:

• Green beans
• Side Salad
• Macaroni and Cheese

ANY ALTERNATIVES?

• Add mushrooms right into the mix! While the onions are cooking, throw in your favorite sliced fresh mushrooms.
• For a creamy texture, add a dollop of sour cream right before serving.
• Make it stir-fry style by adding steamed veggies such as broccoli, zucchini, and carrots!

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.

HOW TO STORE:

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.
