Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions
- Brown the beef: Heat oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the beef and sear until all sides are browned. Remove and set aside.

- Add creaminess: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated. Do not boil.
- Cook the noodles: While the sauce is thickening, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and toss with butter.
- Serve: Spoon the creamy beef tips over the buttered egg noodles. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
