Need a new spin on your beef tips and noodles? This is just the perfect dish for you then. It's easy to make and very tasty! My husband swore I ordered out the first time I made this for him! This recipe is actually one that a few co-workers and I created in the kitchen in a small family owned restaurant I worked at twenty years ago. It has been requested by my Papa more times than I can count. The steak is so tender, you can cut it with a fork! I'm not a red meat eater, but I Love the sauce& so does my vegetarian daughter!

How To Make simply elegant steak

Step 1

To prepare the "cream soup" Prepare ingredients. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add fresh minced garlic, celery, & mushrooms & saute. stirring constantly about 3-5 minutes. Add flour, making a paste. Whisk in milk and bouillon. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring constantly until it reaches desired consistency. (about 10 minutes) (Should be thick like creamy soup) When done, cover and set aside. **Photo is of my prepared cream soup just as I added red wine.

Step 2

Cut meat in strips, then the strips in thirds. Season with thyme & fresh cracked salt and pepper.
Step 3

In a large skillet, heat EVOO over medium high heat. Add sliced onions and prepared beef. Cook until meat is browned on all sides.
Step 4

Pour creamed soup over beef. Add red wine, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, bay leaf, and fresh ginger. Mix, bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 1/2 hours.
Step 5

Prepare pasta al dente, as per directions. (Also goes well with rice)
Step 6

Serve over Pasta. We enjoy with fresh seasoned Italian garlic bread & crisp salad. *** Photo posted here is of my plate. I don't eat red meat, but I still enjoy the sauce over my pasta. This is an absolute delicious meal!
