Ingredients
- For the Beef Tips:
- 1.5 lbs beef sirloin or stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or fresh if you have it)
- For the Gravy:
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup water (or more if needed)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Brown the Beef:
- In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef tips with salt and pepper. Add the beef to the skillet in batches, browning on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.
- Sauté Onions and Mushrooms:
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are browned.
- Add Garlic:
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Combine Ingredients:
- Return the browned beef to the skillet. Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Stir well to combine. Bring to a simmer.
- Simmer:
- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender. Stir occasionally and add more broth if needed.
- Make the Gravy:
- In a small bowl, mix the flour with water until smooth. Slowly stir this mixture into the beef and mushroom sauce, allowing it to thicken. Cook for another 5-10 minutes until the gravy reaches your desired consistency.
- Serve:
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve the beef tips and mushroom gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
