Delicious Beef Tips with Gravy Simple and Savory Meal
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin or tenderloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button)
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or cornstarch for a gluten-free option)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- to taste Salt and black pepper
- for garnish Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and season with salt and pepper. Sear the beef for about 5-7 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing them to soften and release their moisture.
- In a small bowl, mix the flour with 1/4 cup of beef broth to create a slurry. This will help thicken the gravy.
- Return the beef to the skillet with the mushrooms and onions. Pour in the remaining beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and thyme. Stir well to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the gravy to thicken. Gradually add the slurry while stirring continuously until the desired gravy thickness is achieved.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes to cool slightly before serving.
💡 Chef's Notes
