Beef Tips And Gravy
These easy stovetop Beef Tips and Gravy are the ultimate comfort food meal! Tender beef tips are cooked slowly in a rich brown gravy until they’re so tender that they almost fall apart. Serve them over mashed potatoes or rice for your new favorite dinner!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef tips (room temperature*)
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 cups no-sodium beef broth (divided)
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons beef better than bouillon (or 2 beef bouillon cubes)
- 2 .87 oz reduced sodium brown gravy packets**
Directions
- 1
Season beef tips with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- 2
In a medium skillet, heat olive oil to medium-high heat. Sear seasoned beef tips on both sides.

Reduce heat to low, then add the onion and garlic. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, until onion is tender.
- 4
Add 1 cup beef broth, Worcestershire sauce and bouillon, stirring to combine. Cover loosely with lid.

Continue cooking beef tips over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 1 to 2 hours, until fork tender. (The longer the beef tips simmer, the more tender they become. You can add a little more beef broth while cooking, if needed.)

Right before you are ready to serve, whisk to combine the gravy packets with 1 cup of low-sodium beef broth. Pour gravy mixture into the skillet and stir to combine.
