Notes
Sear the Beef: Searing the beef tips adds a depth of flavor that you won't get otherwise. Don't skip this step!
Don't Overcook the Noodles: Adding the noodles too early can result in mushy noodles. Wait until the beef is tender before adding them.
Adjust Seasonings: Taste the sauce before adding the noodles and adjust seasonings as needed. Therefore, add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder to suit your taste.
Thicken the Sauce: If the sauce isn't thick enough, add more cornstarch slurry. Ensure the cornstarch is mixed with cold water to avoid clumping.
Use Fresh Herbs: Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme for a pop of color and added flavor.
