Beef Tips and Noodles Skillet
Ingredients:
- 1 lb chopped beef tips
- 1 lb egg noodles
- 2 jars (12 oz each) beef gravy
- 1 can (14 oz) green beans, drained
- Salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking)
Instructions:
- Prepare Egg Noodles:
- Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Cook Chopped Beef Tips:
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the chopped beef tips to the skillet, season with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic salt.
- Cook the beef tips until they are browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add Green Beans:
- Once the beef tips are cooked, add the drained green beans to the skillet. Stir to combine.
- Pour in Beef Gravy:
- Pour both jars of beef gravy into the skillet. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are coated in the gravy.
- Simmer:
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the green beans to absorb some of the delicious gravy.
- Combine with Noodles:
- Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet, tossing them with the beef and gravy mixture until everything is well combined.
- Adjust Seasonings:
- Taste the dish and adjust the seasonings if needed. You can add more salt, pepper, onion powder, or garlic salt according to your preferences.
- Serve:
- Once everything is heated through and well combined, serve the beef tips and noodles hot.
- Optional Garnish:
- You can garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or grated Parmesan cheese for an extra flavor boost.
