Instructions
Cooking
- Heat your skillet and pour in the olive oil, setting the heat to medium-high.
- Add the beef tips to the hot skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until nicely browned.
- Remove the beef from the skillet, keeping the drippings in the pan.
- In the same skillet, toss in the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened (about 3 minutes).
- Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until golden and juices are released (about 5 minutes).
- Return the beef to the skillet and pour in the beef broth.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, season with salt and pepper to taste.
- If desired, mix the flour with a little water until smooth and stir it into the skillet, simmering for another 20-30 minutes until the beef is tender.
Notes
Allow beef tips to come to room temperature before cooking. Don't skip the searing step; it's essential for flavor. Serve with mashed potatoes or rice, and consider using leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
