Description
This beef tips and gravy recipe is a hearty, comforting dish featuring tender beef in a rich, savory sauce. Perfect over mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread for a cozy dinner.
Ingredients
1 lb beef tips (sirloin or chuck)
1 medium onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp cold water
½ tsp black pepper
Salt to taste
2 tbsp olive oil or butter
Instructions
Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add sliced onions and sauté until translucent.
Add beef tips and sear until browned on all sides.
Stir in minced garlic, salt, and black pepper; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour in beef broth and soy sauce, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Slowly add the cornstarch slurry while stirring constantly until the gravy thickens.
Simmer for 10–15 minutes to let the flavors meld and beef become tender.
Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
Notes
For extra flavor, deglaze the pan with a splash of red wine before adding the broth.
Chuck roast offers a richer taste, while sirloin cooks faster and stays leaner.
This dish can be made in advance and reheated—flavors deepen over time.
