Ingredients:
- 900g sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cans (10.75 oz each) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup red wine
- 1 packet beef with onion soup mix
- 2 packages (16 oz each) egg noodles
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Sear the beef: Season the beef cubes with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the beef on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the onions: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent.
- Create the sauce: Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, milk, red wine, and beef with onion soup mix until well combined. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Simmer the beef: Return the browned beef to the skillet and coat it evenly with the sauce. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for approximately 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.
- Cook the noodles: While the beef is simmering, cook the egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Assemble the dish: Serve the tender beef tips and creamy sauce over the cooked egg noodles.
Tips for Elevated Flavor:
- Enhance the beef flavor: Marinate the beef cubes in a mixture of red wine, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder for at least 30 minutes before cooking for an extra depth of flavor.
- Add richness: Use beef broth instead of water when cooking the egg noodles to infuse the dish with a richer beefy taste.
- Introduce vegetables: Incorporate a variety of vegetables like carrots, peas, or mushrooms to add color, texture, and nutritional value.
- Thicken the sauce: If desired, create a cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with water) and stir it into the sauce to thicken it to your preferred consistency.
- Leftover magic: This dish is even more delicious the next day! Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
