Ingredients

For the noodles:

  • 4 cups water
  • 1 package noodles (Martha Gooch’s Kluski noodles, 8 oz.)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (for noodle pot)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ stick butter (for cooked noodles)

For the beef tips:

  • 1 rib eye steak, 6 oz. (adjust for more servings)
  • 1 large portobello mushroom (use half of a large one)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons butter

For the gravy:

  • 2 beef bouillon cubes
  • 2 cups water (divided)
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • ¼ teaspoon Kitchen Bouquet
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare Noodles

  • Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add noodles, 1 teaspoon oil, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook per package directions, plus an additional 8 minutes for desired texture.

2. Cook Steak

  • In a frying pan, cook rib eye steak to medium-rare. Remove from pan and slice into 1/4″ by 1/4″ cubes.

3. Cook Mushrooms

  • Slice and cube portobello mushroom into 1/4″ by 1/4″ pieces. Sauté mushrooms in 1 teaspoon olive oil and 2 teaspoons butter over medium heat for 10 minutes. Add cubed rib eye to the mushroom pan and keep warm.

4. Prepare Beef Broth

  • Microwave two beef bouillon cubes in 1/2 cup water for two minutes to dissolve.

5. Make Gravy

  • Add beef broth to the pan where steak was fried. Bring to a low simmer and add 1 additional cup of water.

6. Thicken Gravy

  • Mix 2 tablespoons corn starch with 1/2 cup cold water to make a slurry. Add the slurry to the pan at a low simmer, stirring and increasing heat to thicken the gravy.

7. Finish Gravy

  • Add 1/4 teaspoon Kitchen Bouquet to darken the gravy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. The gravy should yield about 2 cups.

8. Combine and Serve

  • Drain noodles and stir in 2 tablespoons butter. Plate the buttered noodles, top with steak and mushroom mixture, and generously cover with gravy.

Notes

Serving Tips:

  1. Garnish Creatively: Sprinkle chopped parsley or fresh thyme over the plated dish for a burst of color and added flavor.
  2. Pairing Suggestions: Serve alongside a crisp green salad or steamed vegetables to balance the richness of the dish. A glass of red wine complements the flavors well.
  3. Presentation Matters: Use a wide, shallow bowl or plate to showcase the buttery noodles, tender beef tips, and savory gravy.
  4. Portion Control: Adjust servings by increasing the amount of rib eye steak and noodles for larger groups, ensuring each serving has ample gravy and mushrooms.

Storage Tips:

  1. Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Ensure the noodles are well-covered in gravy to maintain moisture.
  2. Freezing: Beef tips and noodles can be frozen, but the texture of the noodles may change slightly upon thawing. Freeze in airtight containers for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
  3. Reheating: To reheat, gently warm in a pan over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth if the noodles appear dry. Alternatively, microwave with a damp paper towel covering the dish to retain moisture.
