Description
A warm and comforting dish featuring tender beef tips in savory gravy served over creamy mashed potatoes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ pounds beef tips, sirloin or stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon vegetable or olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried herbs (optional)
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by heating 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef tips in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- Sear the beef for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown, then remove the beef tips to a plate and let them rest.
- In the same pot, add 1 small chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.
- Next, stir in 2 minced cloves of garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
- Lower the heat to medium and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour over the onions and garlic; cook for about 1 minute.
- Gradually pour in 2 cups of beef broth while whisking to avoid lumps until smooth.
- Return the browned beef to the pot. Add 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. If desired, stir in any dried herbs.
- Stir everything together and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low, allowing it to cook for 25-30 minutes until beef is tender.
- Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning as needed before serving over mashed potatoes, garnished with parsley.
