Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Gravy
- 1 pound beef tips
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat to prepare for browning the beef tips.
- Brown the beef tips: Add 1 pound of beef tips to the hot pan and cook, turning occasionally, until all sides are nicely browned. This helps lock in flavor.
- Remove beef and set aside: Once browned, remove the beef tips from the pan and set them aside temporarily.
- Sauté onions and garlic: In the same pan, add 1 chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves. Sauté over medium heat until the onions become soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Cook mushrooms: Add 1 cup of sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook until they are tender and have released their juices, about 5 minutes.
- Add flour: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat evenly, which will help thicken the gravy.
- Pour in liquids and combine: Gradually stir in 2 cups of beef broth and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, mixing continuously to avoid lumps, creating a flavorful sauce.
- Return beef and season: Add the browned beef tips back into the pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste, stir gently to combine everything.
- Simmer until tender: Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer, covered, for about 30 minutes until the beef tips are tender and the gravy has thickened beautifully.
Notes
- For a thicker gravy, you can add an extra tablespoon of flour mixed with a little cold water towards the end of cooking.
- Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta for a complete meal.
- To save time, you can use pre-cut beef tips from the butcher or grocery store.
- Adjust seasoning as needed after simmering, as flavors intensify with cooking.
