Beef Tips And Gravy Or Stewed Beef With Gravy
ingredients:
- 1 1/2 pounds beef stew meat
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt & pepper
- 1 14-oz. can of beef broth
- 1 envelope beefy onion soup mix (such as Lipton)
- 1 cup water, divided
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Beef tips and gravy instructions:
1 ) Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season stew meat with salt & pepper then adds to skillet, stirring once or twice to sear as many sides of the cubes as possible, for about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
2 ) In a medium-sized stock pot, combine beef broth, onion soup mix, and 1/2 cup water then stir well. Add stew meat, stir, and cook over LOW heat, covered, for 1-2 hours. Do not let the pot reach a full boil or the meat will get tough.
3 ) Add cornstarch to a small bowl then whisk in the remaining 1/2 cup of water until smooth. Drizzle cornstarch liquid into pot, bring to a low simmer then cook, while stirring, for 1 minute or until broth has thickened into a gravy. Serve over white rice or egg noodles.
NOTES:
The gravy finishes a tiny bit on the salty side which is exactly how it should be when served with white rice or noodles. This isn’t a stew, it’s meant to be served over some sort of starch so I make it saltier than I would an actual stew that’s meant to be eaten on its own.
