Beef Tips and Gravy Or Stewed Beef With Gravy
This easy beef tips and gravy or stewed beef with gravy recipe is packed with incredible flavor and simple to prepare. Perfect for family meals or special occasions!
Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- /2 pounds beef stew meat
- tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt & pepper
- oz. can beef broth
- envelope beefy onion soup mix such as Lipton
- cup water divided
- tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
- ) Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season stew meat with salt & pepper then add 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.
- ) 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.
- ) Add cornstarch to a small bowl then whisk in 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.
