Ingredients/Variations

STEAK TIPS

Typically, the tenderloin top’s beef tips are the most delicious. Alternatively, they may be sirloin tips from larger roasts, which are frequently marketed as “stew meat” or, in this instance, the tastier-sounding “beef tips.”

GRAVY

The beef broth and onion soup mixture are thickened with a cornstarch mixture to make the gravy. This gravy can alternatively be thickened using a roux made of flour.

Tips for Cooking Beef

These are incredibly simple to prepare and only require one pot for cleaning.

• Beef is browned in oil with onions added.
• When the beef is cooked, add the additional ingredients and simmer.
• Use cornstarch to thicken gravy and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve over egg noodles, rice, or a bed of mashed potatoes. Perfection!

Good Sides

These are just a few of the mouthwatering sides that go well with meat.

• Starch: Beef is usually best with roasted sweet potatoes, egg noodles, or even rice.
• Veggies: Serve with a side of glazed carrots or sautéed brussels sprouts. They are a hit every time!
• Salads: A straightforward wedge salad or a basic kale salad is the ideal fresh accompaniment!

Leftovers

The leftovers from beef tips with gravy are delicious!

• Until you’re ready to reheat, keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
• Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a little salt and pepper to revive the taste.

You can also freeze beef tips with gravy in zipped bags; just make sure to mark them with the date. The shelf life should be around two months.

1. One tablespoon of olive oil should be heated over medium-high heat in a big saucepan or Dutch oven. Add salt and pepper to the steak, then brown it in small batches. The beef should be taken out and kept aside.
2. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the onion and remaining oil. Cook for 10 minutes or until softened.
3. In the pot, combine the beef, soup, stock, Worcestershire sauce, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender to the fork.
4. Combine cornstarch and 1/3 cup of cold water to thicken the gravy. Bit by little, while stirring, pour into the beef until the required consistency is reached.
5. Add salt and pepper after taste. Remove bay leaf before adding to mashed potatoes.

Notes

This recipe calls for canned condensed onion soup, which you can find in the grocery store’s soup section.
