  • 1 medium onion, chopped Adds sweetness and aromatic flavor to balance the dish.
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced Infuses the dish with warmth and enhances the overall flavor.
  • 2 cups beef broth Necessary for creating the rich, savory gravy. Use low-sodium for better control over salt content.
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce Adds a tangy depth of flavor that enhances the beef.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Essential for sautéing and enriching the dish.
  • to taste none Salt and black pepper Seasoning to elevate all the flavors.
  • for garnish none Fresh herbs (like thyme or parsley) Adds freshness and visual appeal to the dish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef tips with salt and pepper.
  2. Add the beef tips to the skillet in a single layer, searing until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms have released their moisture.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and add the Worcestershire sauce. Cook for another minute, allowing the garlic to become fragrant.
  5. Pour in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for about 20-25 minutes.
  6. If you prefer a thicker gravy, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water to create a slurry, and stir that into the gravy.
  7. Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
  8. Serve the beef tips over a bed of mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice. Garnish with freshly chopped herbs.
