8 Servings
Ingredients
- 2 pounds sirloin tips cubed
- ½ yellow onion finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cans 10.5 oz each condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 packet 1.5 oz beef with onion soup mix
- 1 package 12 oz egg noodles
Instructions
Sear the beef and onions:
- In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cubed sirloin tips and finely chopped onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for approximately 5 minutes, or until the beef is lightly browned and the onions are translucent.
Prepare the sauce:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the condensed cream of mushroom soup, heavy whipping cream, red wine vinegar, and the beef with onion soup mix. Stir until all components are fully incorporated.
Combine beef and sauce:
- Pour the prepared sauce mixture into the skillet with the beef and onions. Stir thoroughly to ensure the meat is evenly coated.
Slow cook the beef:
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the skillet and allow the mixture to simmer gently for approximately 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Then, lower the heat to the lowest setting and continue to cook, covered, for an additional 4 hours, or until the beef is exceptionally tender and easily pulled apart with a fork.
Cook the egg noodles:
- Near the end of the cooking time, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions, typically 5 to 6 minutes for al dente. Drain the noodles and rinse lightly with cold water to stop the cooking process.
Serve:
- To serve, portion the egg noodles onto plates or into shallow bowls and top generously with the beef and sauce mixture. Serve immediately while hot.
