  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs beef sirloin tip, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional for richness)
  • 8 oz egg noodles, uncooked
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season beef cubes with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown beef in batches; set aside.
  2. Melt butter in same pan. Add onions and mushrooms; sauté until softened (5–6 min). Add garlic; cook 1 min.
  3. Stir in flour to form a roux, then gradually whisk in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Return beef to skillet. Add thyme and black pepper. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 25–30 minutes until beef is tender.
  5. Meanwhile, cook egg noodles according to package directions. Drain.
  6. Stir heavy cream into beef mixture if using. Serve beef and gravy over noodles; garnish with parsley.

Notes

  • For a quicker version, use sliced steak (like flank or skirt) and reduce simmer time to 15–20 minutes.
  • Gluten-free? Use GF soy sauce or tamari instead of Worcestershire, and swap egg noodles for GF pasta.
  • Make ahead: Tastes even better the next day—store in fridge up to 3 days or freeze up to 2 months.
