Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds beef stew meat (or sirloin tips)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Season the beef stew meat with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat evenly.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef and sear until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Return the beef to the skillet and pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it cook for 35-40 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Gradually stir the slurry into the skillet to thicken the gravy. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the gravy reaches your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish, if desired.
Serve the beef tips hot over rice, mashed potatoes, or egg noodles. Enjoy!
