Whenever I make this, my hubby thanks the lord before and is practically licking his plate by the end

 


Instructions:

1. Season and Brown the Beef:

  • Season the beef tips with salt and black pepper according to your taste.
  • In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the seasoned beef tips to the skillet and brown them on all sides. Work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove the browned beef from the skillet and set it aside.

2. Saute Onions and Garlic:

  • In the same skillet, add chopped onions and minced garlic. Cook until the onions are translucent and aromatic, about 2-3 minutes.

3. Make the Mushroom Gravy:

  • Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are tender and release their moisture, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Push the mushrooms and onions to the side of the skillet and melt butter in the center.
  • Sprinkle all-purpose flour over the melted butter and whisk continuously to create a roux. Cook the roux for 2-3 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

4. Add Broth and Cream:

  • Gradually pour beef broth into the skillet while whisking to combine with the roux, creating a smooth gravy base.
  • Pour in heavy cream (or milk) and continue whisking until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.

5. Combine Beef and Gravy:

  • Return the browned beef tips to the skillet, along with any accumulated juices. Stir well to coat the beef tips evenly with the mushroom gravy

6. Simmer and Garnish:

  • Reduce the heat to low and let the beef tips simmer in the mushroom gravy for about 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  • Taste the gravy and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

  • Serve the Beef Tips with Mushroom Gravy hot over cooked egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice for a complete meal.
  • Pair it with your favorite side dishes and enjoy the comforting flavors of this delicious homemade dish.
