Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound beef tips
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
Aromatics and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Cooking and Binding Ingredients:
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Warm 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, preparing a sizzling cooking surface for the beef.
- Sprinkle 1 pound beef tips generously with salt and pepper, ensuring each piece gets seasoned evenly.
- Place seasoned beef tips into the hot skillet, allowing them to brown for 3-4 minutes on each side until developing a rich golden crust.
- Toss 1 chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves into the skillet, stirring until they become translucent and fragrant.
- Add 2 cups sliced mushrooms to the pan, cooking until they release their moisture and start to caramelize.
- Dust 2 tablespoons flour over the meat and vegetables, stirring constantly for 1 minute to eliminate raw flour taste.
- Pour 2 cups beef broth and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce into the skillet, whisking to create a smooth sauce.
- Reduce heat to low, letting the mixture simmer for 20 minutes until the gravy thickens and beef becomes tender.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed before serving hot.
Notes
- Brown the beef tips in small batches to ensure a nice golden crust without overcrowding the pan.
- Use fresh mushrooms like cremini or shiitake for deeper, more complex flavor in the gravy.
- Let the beef tips simmer gently to keep the meat tender and prevent toughening.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute cornstarch for flour and use tamari instead of Worcestershire sauce.
