Georgia's Best Beef Tips with Noodles Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ lbs beef sirloin tips, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 tbsp flour
• 1 tbsp butter
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 12 oz egg noodles
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beef Tips: Begin by seasoning the beef tips with salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef tips in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Brown the beef on all sides for about 4-5 minutes per batch, then transfer the browned beef to a plate and set aside.
2. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pan, add a little more oil if necessary, then sauté the chopped onion until soft and golden, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. Create the Gravy: Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring continuously to cook the flour for about 2 minutes. Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring to prevent lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce to the mixture and bring to a gentle simmer.
4. Simmer the Beef Tips: Return the browned beef tips to the pan, cover, and let the mixture simmer over low heat for 1 ½ to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the gravy has thickened.
5. Cook the Noodles: About 20 minutes before the beef is done, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
6. Combine and Serve: Once the beef tips are fully cooked and tender, toss the noodles into the pan, mixing everything together so the noodles are coated in the rich gravy. Add a pat of butter for extra richness if desired. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
7. Serve and Enjoy: Plate the beef tips and noodles hot, with a side of crusty bread or a fresh green salad to complete the meal.

The beef is seared to lock in flavor, then braised until it’s fork-tender in a savory broth with Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce​(Loving Thermo)​(Small Town Woman).
