Simple Beef Tips and Noodles Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 pound cubed beef stew meat
- 1 large onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (8 ounce) package sliced button mushrooms
- 1 (32 ounce) carton beef stock
- Salt to taste
- Ground black pepper to taste
- 1 (8 ounce) package wide egg noodles
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- cup cold water
Directions
Step 1: Heat oil in a pressure cooker over medium-high heat. Add the cubed beef stew meat and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside. Drain excess grease from the cooker.
Step 2: Lower the heat to medium and add the diced onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 3: Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes, allowing the garlic to become fragrant but not browned.
Step 4: Pour in the beef stock, then return the browned beef to the pot along with any juices. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Increase the heat to high and seal the lid of the pressure cooker. Bring it to full pressure, then reduce the heat to low, maintaining pressure, and cook for 20 minutes.
Step 5: While the stew is cooking, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook, stirring often, until they become tender, about 8 minutes. Drain the noodles and set aside.
Step 6: Once the stew is done, remove the pressure cooker from heat and allow the pressure to drop naturally. In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in cup cold water.
Step 7: When the pressure has dropped, remove the lid of the pressure cooker. Whisk in the cornstarch mixture, then bring the stew back to a boil. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
Step 8: Serve the beef and mushroom stew over the cooked egg noodles. Enjoy!
Cook's Note
This recipe can easily be adapted for a slow cooker. Simply follow Steps 1 and 2 using a skillet, then transfer everything to your slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high for 4 to 6 hours. Start boiling the water for the noodles about 30 minutes before you're ready to eat.

I do make this dish in the crockpot, I just layer the ingredients in the bottom of my crockpot and cover it with beef stock and let it cook all day. Sometimes, I throw in some dried basil/oregano and a bay leaf or two, depending on if I think of it. This also makes a great stroganoff by adding a cup of sour cream before serving. When I make this, there's never any leftovers.

Excellent - I made this in my slow cooker! Instead of browning the meat and sautéing the onions, mushrooms and garlic I shook the meat in seasoned flour, then put it in the cooker along with the vegetables and garlic. I added half of a 32 oz. carton of beef broth (since there is always more liquid when you cook in the slow cooker), then I cooked on high for 1 hour and low for 2 1/2 hours. The meat was tender and juicy and the gravy was yummy! Thank you for sharing this simple but oh-so-delicious recipe!

I made this recipe pretty much as stated, but doubled it to have left-overs and cooked it in an electric pressure cooker. The only thing that I didn't double was the beef stock - I used 4 cups of homemade beef stock. I didn't have fresh mushrooms on hand, so I used 2 4 oz. cans of mushrooms (probably should have used at least 3 cans), and used top round steak. After browning the meat, and sautéing the onions and garlic, in the pressure cooker, I added back the meat and the rest of the ingredients. I also added 1/4 cup of red wine. I pressure cooked everything for 20 minutes on the beef setting and let it slow release the pressure. Since I didn't double the amount of beef stock used, I didn't double the cornstarch/water mixture, but found that I had to double that so the gravy wasn't watery and more like gravy. I served it over mashed potatoes, and my family loved it. By doubling the recipe, I had enough for 3 meals for 3 of us. So we have two more meals to look forward to. The next time we have it, I will try it over egg noodles. Thanks for the pressure cooker recipe, Dennis. It was great, and I will definitely make it again.

It's a good basic recipe but a little bland for my taste so I added the following: 2 tsp Redwine Vinger 2 tsp Better Than Bouillon or 2 bouillon cubes 2 Tbsp tomato paste 2 to 3 Tbsp of Worcestershire Sauce The flavor profile greatly increased and was quite delicious!

I can't imagine how runny it would have been if I used 32 oz of beef stock -- or how bland it would have been as written. I used 16 oz of beef bone broth and it was still too thin. I added both red wine (maybe 1/4 c?) and Worcestershire sauce (several tablespoons). To thicken it, I added about 2x as much corn starch and 1/2 as much water.

This was pretty good. After reading several of the reviews, I opted to reduce the broth by 1/2. I used the same amount of thickener and it was still pretty runny. I prefer thicker gravy so next time I would thicken more to have more coverage on the noodles.

I sauteeed the onion with the beef. I also left the mushrooms whole and did not bother sautéing first... just popped them in the IP with the other ingredients when it was time to seal and set. I will definitely make this again, as even the picky children enjoyed it!

I think it came out great... I did use about twice the meat and probably more corn starch, but it was delicious and the meat was falling apart. I just picked up a rump roast and cut it into cubes... perfect!

I'm on a gluten free diet and I was able to adapt this very easily. I browned the meat in seasoned flour before baking and used beef broth instead of water. Gluten free cream of mushroom soup comes in 12 ounce boxes, so the gravy was pretty thick. Next time I'll increase the amount of broth to loosen the gravy. The verdict was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! It was just like I remember having when I was younger. It was even better the next day. This recipe will now become a regular feature in my menu planning.

Very good flavor, but still a little soupy after cutting broth to a 14oz can. Used 1T minced garlic; added 1pkg onion soup mix. Might add some chopped celery next time.

Trying this now. I have a modern crock pot/pressure cooker that allows several functions including sauté which makes this recipe, so far, much easier! Thank you for the recipe!

Way too much liquid. I added a few things for flavor. I'm saving this a base recipe, will use less liquid and continue to tweak it to suit my taste.
