Making Beef Tips and Noodles is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to achieve a delicious meal:
1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by chopping the onion and cutting the beef sirloin into bite-sized pieces.
2. Sear the Beef: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef pieces in batches, cooking until browned on all sides. Remove beef from the skillet and set it aside.
3. Sauté the Onion: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
4. Combine Ingredients: Return the seared beef to the skillet. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Sprinkle in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
5. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and let it cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Cook the Noodles: While the beef simmers, bring a separate pot of water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
7. Add Veggies: If using, stir in the frozen peas and carrots into the skillet. Continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes.
8. Combine Noodles and Beef: Gently fold the cooked egg noodles into the skillet, ensuring they soak up the delicious gravy.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle fresh parsley on top for color and flavor.
10. Serve: Dish out the Beef Tips and Noodles on plates, ensuring everyone gets a hearty portion.
