Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 2 pounds (907 grams) beef sirloin or tenderloin, cut into bite-sized pieces
Aromatics:
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Liquids and Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare a large skillet or Dutch oven and heat vegetable oil over medium-high temperature until shimmering.
- Sauté diced onions and minced garlic until they become soft and translucent, releasing their aromatic flavors.
- Introduce beef pieces to the hot skillet, carefully browning them on all surfaces for 5-7 minutes to develop rich caramelization.
- Evenly dust flour over the browned beef, thoroughly coating each piece to create a foundation for the gravy.
- Slowly incorporate beef broth while continuously stirring to prevent any potential lumps from forming in the sauce.
- Enhance the flavor profile by adding Worcestershire sauce, seasoning with salt and pepper, and mixing thoroughly.
- Reduce heat to low, allowing the mixture to gently simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes until the beef becomes fork-tender and the gravy reaches a luxurious, thick consistency.
- Once cooking is complete, remove from heat and optionally garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant touch.
- Transfer the succulent beef tips and rich gravy to a serving dish, presenting over creamy mashed potatoes, fluffy rice, or tender noodles for a comforting meal.
Notes
- Choose chuck roast or sirloin for maximum tenderness and flavor in your beef tips.
- Pat beef pieces dry before browning to ensure a perfect golden-brown crust and deep caramelization.
- Adjust cooking liquid consistency by adding more broth if gravy becomes too thick during simmering.
- For gluten-free version, replace wheat flour with cornstarch or alternative gluten-free thickening agent.
