Ingredients:
– 2 lbs beef tips, cubed
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup beef broth
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 2 tablespoons cornstarch
– 1/4 cup water
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef tips and brown them on all sides, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Once the beef is browned, remove it from the skillet and set it aside.
2. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Return the browned beef tips to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Pour in the beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
4. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and let the beef simmer gently for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together.
5. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the skillet with the beef tips and gravy. Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency.
6. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. If the gravy is too thick, you can thin it out with a little more beef broth or water.
7. Serve the Beef Tips with Gravy hot over a bed of mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Enjoy this comforting dish with your loved ones and savor the rich, savory flavors of tender beef and hearty gravy. Perfect for a cozy night in or a special occasion, Beef Tips with Gravy is sure to become a family favorite. Happy cooking!
