Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds beef sirloin tips
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, toss the beef tips with flour, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the coated beef tips to the skillet in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned. Work in batches if necessary. Remove the beef tips and set them aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan for extra flavor.
Return the seared beef tips to the skillet and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender.
In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Gradually stir the slurry into the skillet while simmering to thicken the sauce. Cook for 2-3 more minutes until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes.
