How do you make Beef Tips and Gravy?

Start by melting a little butter in a heavy skillet. Add the mushrooms and cook for a few minutes. After adding the mushrooms, continue cooking them until the onions begin to soften and turn a nice golden brown. Add the garlic and cook for one additional minute. Remove everything from the pan and place on a plate.

Now incorporate the flour, salt, and pepper with the beef tips in a sizable ziploc bag. In the same skillet over medium heat, add a little oil. The beef tips will now be added; cook until browned on all sides. Place on a plate after removing from the pan, or if the plate is large enough, serve alongside the vegetables. Stir the wine into the skillet after adding it, scraping up any browned bits. This technique is commonly referred to as deglazing. Add Worcestershire Sauce and all but one half cup of the beef broth. Reduce the heat and simmer for five minutes.

Stir together half a cup of beef broth and a quarter cup of flour. Slowly whisk the mixture into the liquid in the skillet. Just a few minutes or until the mixture is slightly thickened. Re-add the beef tips and the mushroom mixture to the skillet. Simmer for about five minutes or so. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Serve over noodles, rice or mashed potatoes.

Purchase good quality beef tenderloin or steak

Look for mushrooms that are firm, free from blemishes and have a smooth appearance. They should be dry to the touch but not dried out.

Always use a wine of good quality. In other words one that you would enjoy a glass of.

Choose a red that is dry and medium to light bodied. Good choices are Merlot, Pinot Noir or a Cabernet.

If the gravy becomes too thick upon simmering add a couple of tablespoons of beef broth to thin it out.

This recipe really calls for the wine and the mushrooms. Without both of them it really is not quite as delicious.

So if you’re in the mood for a quick, delicious, comforting meal, I’ve got you covered. Your day will be made by this delicious one-pan beef tips and gravy!

Cooking the Beef Tips Over Noodles

I cooked the meat in a large cast-iron dutch oven. First, the meat is browned, which takes four to five minutes.

In order to soften, the onion and garlic are then added and cooked for about 3 minutes. When the stew meat is browning, it releases a lot of liquid; keep that in the pot and then add the other liquids and a little black pepper.

For tenderness, the beef is simmered for 1 1/2 to 2 hours in a mixture of red wine, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth.

Cover the pot and maintain a low temperature so that the liquid just simmers. This slow cooking results in tender beef cubes.

Watch a Netflix movie while you wait for the pot to simmer. While I waited, I watched “The Firm,” checking in every 20 to 30 minutes to see how it was going. Beef tips with egg noodles are about to happen.

It’s time to make the gravy after 1 1/2 to 2 hours of cooking and you are confident that the meat is tender (take a hunk out and give it a try).

5 tablespoons of flour and 1/2 cup of chilled beef broth should be combined. Pour this into the pot while stirring as the heat on the stove is increased, and then bring to a boil.

Let this cook for several more minutes to thicken.

That’s it…. Serve the egg noodles and tender beef tips with a nice side salad or vegetable.

This is the epitome of comfort food and is ideal for a fall meal.

Are Beef Tips and Stew Meat the Same

Although stew meat and beef tips are generally not the same, labels can make this distinction difficult to make. If making this recipe on the stovetop, I advise buying meat that is specifically marked as containing sirloin or tenderloin.

Stew meat usually contains a tougher cut of meat (such as a chuck or rump roast) which is best suited for making Slow Cooker Beef Stew.

Beef Tips should be prepared with a more tender cut of meat such as sirloin or tenderloin, unless they’re being prepared in the Slow Cooker.
