Tender beef cooked in a deliciously rich brown gravy, served over rice, mashed potatoes or egg noodles – a satisfying, filling meal the whole family will love. Simple to make comfort food that’s easy to adapt to your taste!

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds beef stew meat, cubed
  • 3 Tablespoons vegetable oil ((or canola))
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce ((you can use reduced sodium))
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce ((you can use reduced sodium))
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder ((or use fresh garlic))
  • 1 teaspoon salt ((omit to reduce sodium))
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • 1 packet brown gravy mix .75 ounce packet ((you can use reduced sodium))
  • 1 cup water
  • Eggs Noodles, Rice or Mashed Potatoes ((to serve with beef tips))
  • 1/4 - 1/3 cup red wine
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced ((fresh or canned))

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large skillet over medium-high to high heat, heat 3 tablespoons of oil then add the chopped onion and cook until they are translucent, stirring occasionally. 

  2. 2

    Next, add cubed beef to the oil and onions, browning the meat on all sides – it will take about a minute on each side. After browning the beef, add 2 cups of water, Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce. Next add garlic powder, salt and pepper, stir well.

  3. 3

    Bring to a boil then reduce heat, COVER and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

  4. 4

    Last, in a medium size bowl (I use my measuring cup), add the gravy mix and 1 cup water, mix well then pour over beef – stir until well blended. Increase heat, bringing to a boil while continuously stirring –  it is ready when the sauce slightly thickens.

  5. 5

    Serve over mashed potatoes, white rice or egg noodles. Great with your favorite steamed vegetable and a side salad.
