Beef Tips

Steps

1. Trim any fat from the beef and toss with salt and pepper.

2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat in large pot or Dutch oven. Add the seasoned beef and cook in small batches until browned. Transfer the beef to a bowl and set aside.

3. Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining oil. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.

4. Add the beef, beef broth, condensed onion soup, Worcestershire sauce, and bay leaf to the pot. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for 1½ to 2 hours or until beef is fork-tender.

5. To thicken the gravy, combine cornstarch with ⅓ cup cold water. Pour into the beef mixture a little at a time while stirring until it reaches the desired consistency.

6. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if desired. Discard bay leaf and serve over mashed potatoes.
