Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter, melting them together.

Add 1 medium diced sweet onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

Add fresh mushrooms to the skillet, cutting larger pieces in half, and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Set the cooked mushrooms and onions aside on a plate to prevent overcooking.

Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and then add 1 pound of beef tips or stew meat, searing on each side.

Season the meat with 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper, reserving some seasoning for later.

Add 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to the meat and let it sear until browned.

While the meat is cooking, bring water to a boil in a separate pot and add 8 ounces of egg noodles, cooking according to package instructions.

In a bowl, whisk together 2/3 cup of water, 1 packet of Lipton beefy onion soup mix, and 1 packet of brown gravy.

Pour the mixture over the seared meat in the skillet, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom.

Add 1 can of cream of mushroom soup to the skillet and mix well, adding more water if the mixture is too thick.

Cover the skillet and let it simmer on low for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding water as needed to maintain consistency.

Check the noodles for doneness, then drain and set aside, tossing with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.

After 30 minutes, add the reserved mushrooms and onions back into the skillet with the beef mixture.

Gently mix in the cooked noodles with the beef and gravy mixture, ensuring everything is well combined.
