Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs beef tips (sirloin or stew meat)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth (low-sodium recommended)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Sear the Beef
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef tips in batches, browning on all sides (4-5 minutes). Remove from pan and set aside.
- 2. Cook the Onions and Garlic
In the same skillet, add chopped onion and cook until soft (about 5 minutes). Stir in garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
- 3. Make the Gravy
Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir to form a paste. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Simmer until the gravy starts to thicken.
- 4. Simmer the Beef
Return the seared beef to the pan, along with any juices. Stir to coat in the gravy. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until beef is tender.
- 5. Season and Serve
Stir in Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
Notes
- For gluten-free, substitute flour with cornstarch.
- Add a splash of red wine or balsamic vinegar for extra depth.
