Beef tips & gravy base

Method

Beef tips & gravy instructions

  1. 1

    Season and dredge

    Pat beef tips dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. In a shallow dish, combine flour with garlic powder and onion powder; dredge beef pieces until evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Brown beef

    In a large heavy skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high. Working in batches, brown beef pieces on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Transfer browned beef to a plate.

  3. 3

    Sauté aromatics

    In the same pan, add butter. Sauté onion until translucent, 4-5 minutes. Add garlic and mushrooms, cook until mushrooms brown and release moisture, 4-6 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add flavors and deglaze

    Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes. Return beef to the pan and pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Add thyme; bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Slow-cook

    Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is tender and sauce thickens.

  6. 6

    Finish and serve

    Uncover and simmer until sauce reaches your preferred thickness, 8-12 minutes. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Stir in parsley just before serving.
