Beef Tips and Noodles is a hearty comfort food dinner made with tender pieces of beef simmered in a rich, savory homemade gravy and served over egg noodles. The beef cooks low and slow until fork-tender, while red wine, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard give the gravy plenty of flavor.
This is one of those dinners I like to make when we’re craving something warm and comforting. It takes a little time for the beef to become tender, but most of that time is hands-off, and the rich gravy over egg noodles makes it worth the wait.

Beef Tips and Noodles
Beef Tips and Noodles is a hearty comfort food dinner with tender pieces of beef simmered in a rich homemade gravy with red wine, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard.
Ingredients
- 2 Pounds Stew Beef, Cut Into Bite-Sized Pieces
- 2 Tablespoons Canola Oil
- 1 Large Yellow Onion, Sliced
- 2 Cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1 Teaspoon Black Pepper
- ½ Cup Red Wine (such as merlot)
- 2 Cups Beef Stock, ½ Cup Separated
- ¼ Cup Soy Sauce
- ¼ Cup Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
- 5 Tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
- 12 Ounces Egg Noodles, Cooked According to Package Instructions
Instructions
- In a large dutch oven, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef pieces and cook, turning occasionally until browned, about 5 minutes.
- In the same dutch oven, add the sliced onion, garlic and black pepper, cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion has softened.
- Pour in the red wine, scraping up any browned bit from the bottom of the dutch oven. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the wine has reduced by half.
- Stir in 1 ½ cups of the beef stock, soy sauce, worcestershire sauce, and dijon mustard. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow to simmer for 1 ½-2 hours or until the beef is tender. While the beef is simmering, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions.
- In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, mix the all-purpose flour with the ½ cup reserved beef stock to create a smooth paste. Slowly whisk the flour mixture into the simmering sauce, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Continue cooking the sauce for 3-4 minutes, or until it has thickened.
- Serve the beef tips and gravy over the egg noodles, garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
Notes
Pat the beef dry before browning and work in batches if needed to get a good sear. Scrape up the browned bits when adding the red wine for extra flavor in the gravy. Keep the beef at a gentle simmer and cook until fork-tender. Whisk the flour with the reserved beef stock until smooth before adding it to the pot. Taste the finished gravy before adding any extra salt since the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and beef stock already provide plenty of seasoning.
