Sure, here’s a basic recipe for Beef Tips with Mushroom Gravy:
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ pounds beef tips or sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Season the beef tips with salt and pepper according to your taste.
- Heat the olive oil or vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef tips and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, and cook until the mushrooms are browned and tender, about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and onions, and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 2 – 3 Minutes to cook off the raw taste of the flour.
- Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Add the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and paprika. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Return the browned beef tips to the skillet, along with any juices that may have accumulated. Stir to combine everything well.
- Cover the skillet and let the beef simmer in the mushroom gravy for about 20-25 minutes, or until the beef is tender and cooked through, stirring occasionally.
- Once the beef is cooked, taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
- Serve the beef tips with mushroom gravy hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
