Method
Preparation
- Start by seasoning the beef tips with salt and pepper. This enhances the flavor of the meat and sets the foundation for your savory gravy. Once seasoned, set the beef aside.
- In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the seasoned beef tips on both sides until they are browned.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes until the onion becomes tender and aromatic.
- Pour in 1 cup of beef broth, along with the Worcestershire sauce and beef bouillon. Stir to combine, then cover the skillet loosely with a lid.
- Continue cooking the beef tips over low heat, stirring occasionally for 1 to 2 hours.
- Just before serving, whisk together the gravy packets with the remaining 1 cup of low-sodium beef broth in a separate bowl and add to the skillet.
- Increase the heat to medium and bring the gravy to a simmer. Cook for about 2 to 4 minutes or until the gravy thickens.
- Taste your gravy and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve Beef Tips with Gravy over rice, mashed potatoes, or egg noodles.
Notes
For added depth of flavor, consider marinating the beef tips for a few hours prior to cooking. Don't be afraid to experiment with additional herbs and spices like thyme or rosemary to enhance the dish further. For a thicker gravy, simply allow it to simmer longer at the end.
