beef tips and gravy

Ingredients

• 1 pound beef tips, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup beef broth
• 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. Add beef tips and cook until browned on all sides. Drain excess grease.
3. Add chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
4. Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry.
6. Slowly drizzle cornstarch slurry into the skillet, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens.
7. Season with black pepper and salt to taste.

Notes

• For a richer gravy, you can add 1/4 cup of red wine along with the beef broth.
• To thicken the gravy even further, you can use a slurry of 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water.
• Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
• Store leftover beef tips and gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
