Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Sirloin tips, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 0.5 cup Red wine (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3 sprigs Fresh thyme sprigs
- 1 leaf Bay leaf
- 3 medium Carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 8 ounces Mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Season the sirloin tips with salt and black pepper.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat.
Add the sirloin tips in batches, searing on all sides until browned. Remove and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium, add the diced onion, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the flour to the pot and stir well to coat the onions and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the beef broth and red wine (if using), stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer.
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, thyme sprigs, and bay leaf.
Return the browned sirloin tips to the pot along with any juices. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer gently for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
After 1 hour, add the carrots and mushrooms to the pot. Continue to simmer, covered, for an additional 40-50 minutes, or until the meat is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Discard the thyme sprigs and bay leaf. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the braised sirloin tips hot, garnished with fresh parsley. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles for a complete meal.
