Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s everything you’ll need for this fabulous meal:

• 2 lbs beef stew meat (or beef tips)
• 1 packet onion soup mix
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 12 oz egg noodles
• 2 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Tools Needed

• Crockpot/Slow cooker
• Large pot (for noodles)
• Small bowl (for cornstarch mixture if thickening)
• Wooden spoon (for stirring)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Beef

Start by placing your beef stew meat (or beef tips) in the crockpot. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

2. Build the Sauce

Add the onion soup mix, beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Give everything a good stir to ensure the beef is fully coated in that delicious mixture.

3. Slow Cook to Perfection

Set your crockpot to low and cook for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart.

4. Cook the Egg Noodles

About 30 minutes before serving, boil a large pot of water and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

5. Thicken the Sauce (Optional)

If you like a thicker sauce, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with ¼ cup of water. Stir the mixture into the crockpot about 15 minutes before serving, and let it cook until the sauce thickens.

6. Serve and Enjoy

Spoon the tender beef and rich gravy over a generous serving of egg noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor!

What to Serve with Beef Tips & Noodles

This dish is so hearty that it doesn’t need much on the side. However, here are a few ideas to complete your meal:

• Garlic Bread: Perfect for soaking up any extra gravy.
• Steamed Vegetables: Broccoli or green beans are great options to add some freshness.
• Side Salad: A crisp salad with a tangy vinaigrette balances the rich flavors of the beef.

Tips for the Perfect Beef Tips & Noodles

• Choose the Right Cut: Beef stew meat or beef tips work great here, but chuck roast is another excellent option for slow cooking.
• Want Extra Creaminess? Stir in a splash of heavy cream towards the end of cooking for an extra velvety sauce.
• Make Ahead: You can prep everything the night before and store it in the fridge. In the morning, just set your crockpot and go!

Storage & Reheating Instructions

• Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of beef broth to loosen up the sauce if needed.
• Freeze the beef and sauce (without noodles) for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I use another type of meat?

Yes! You can use pork tenderloin or even chicken thighs, though the flavor and cooking time will vary slightly.

Can I make this without a slow cooker?

Absolutely! You can simmer everything on the stovetop in a Dutch oven for about 2-3 hours, or until the beef is tender.

Can I make this gluten-free?

Just swap out the egg noodles for your favorite gluten-free pasta, and double-check that your onion soup mix and cream of mushroom soup are gluten-free.
