Super Tender Stovetop Beef Tips and Gravy
Ingredients:
– 2 pounds beef tips (room temperature)
– 1 teaspoon pepper
– ½ teaspoon salt
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 medium yellow onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 cups no-sodium beef broth, divided
– 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
– 1 ½ tablespoons beef better than bouillon (or 2 beef bouillon cubes)
– 2 reduced sodium brown gravy packets
Instructions:
1. Start by seasoning your beef tips with salt and pepper. This will enhance the natural flavor and ensure that every bite is packed with deliciousness.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef tips on all sides until they have a beautiful brown crust. This step is crucial for locking in the juices and creating that super tender texture everyone loves.
3. Lower the heat and add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion is softened and the garlic is fragrant, creating a flavorful base for your gravy.
4. Pour in 1 cup of beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and the beef bouillon. Stir everything together, making sure the bouillon is fully dissolved. Cover the skillet and let the beef tips simmer on low heat for 1-2 hours. This slow-cooking process is key to achieving ultra-tender beef tips that practically melt in your mouth.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk the remaining beef broth with the brown gravy packets until smooth. Pour this mixture into the skillet, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. This rich and savory gravy perfectly complements the tender beef tips.
6. Serve your Super Tender Stovetop Beef Tips and Gravy over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes, fluffy rice, or hearty egg noodles for a comforting and satisfying meal that will have everyone asking for seconds.
