Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1.5 pounds beef stew meat (or chuck roast cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2–2.5 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 3 tablespoons corn starch
  • Kosher salt
  • fresh cracked pepper
  • fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
  • mashed potatoes for serving

Instructions

  1. Pat beef dry and season on all sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large saute pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  3. Add beef and sear for 2-3 minutes per side. Cook in batches depending on the size of your pan. It won’t be cooked through at this point. Set aside.
  4. Melt butter in the pan. Add onion and a couple pinches of salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium, and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Add garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently.
  6. Stir in 2 cups beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and Italian seasoning. Return beef back into the pan with any juices.
  7. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 25-30 minutes until the beef is tender.
  8. Dissolve cornstarch in 3 tablespoons of water. Stir into the skillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the sauce thickens to your liking. Stir in additional broth to thin the sauce as needed. 
  9. Serve beef tips and gravy over garlic mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!

Notes

  • For Extra Flavor: Deglaze the pan with a splash of red wine before adding the broth.

  • Make it Richer: Use a combination of beef broth and a splash of heavy cream for a creamier sauce.

  • Test for Tenderness: You’ll know the beef is done when it falls apart easily when shredded with two forks. If it isn’t fall-apart-tender, cook it for a bit longer.
