I made this for supper one night and my grandson enjoyed it. Whenever he comes over now he requests me to cook this for him. He's a picky eater so I am happy to make something that he likes.

Nana's beef tips with noodles are a hearty and comforting meal. After simmering, the stew meat is extremely tender. It's smothered in a rich and savory homemade brown gravy. We served it over noodles following the recipe and this was a tasty meal. But, mashed potatoes would be a delicious option too.
