1. Begin by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add the beef sirloin tips to the skillet in a single layer, and let them sear undisturbed for about 3 minutes on each side, ensuring a nice brown color. Do this in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Once done, remove the beef tips and set them aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Lower the heat to medium.
4. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
5. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
6. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are golden brown and have released their moisture, approximately 5 minutes.
7. Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and tamari. Stir well to combine.
8. Return the seared beef tips to the skillet, include any juices that accumulated on the plate. Stir to mix.
9. Lower the heat to a simmer, and cover the skillet. Let the mixture cook for 35-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender.
10. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth.
11. Uncover the skillet and slowly stir in the cornstarch mixture to thicken the sauce. Allow it to simmer for a further 5 minutes or until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
12. Stir in the chopped fresh thyme, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
13. Serve the savory beef tips over rice, mashed potatoes, or your choice of accompaniment, garnished with additional thyme if desired.
