Equipment
Dutch Oven or Large Skillet
Wooden spoon
Small Bowl or Measuring Cup
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs beef tenderloin, sirloin tips, or petite shoulder, cut into bite-size pieces
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter
- ½ lb sliced cremini mushrooms or white mushrooms
- ½ cup finely chopped onion
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ⅓ cup dry red wine (optional)
- 2 cups low sodium beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- ¼ cup cold water
Instructions
- Generously season the beef chunks with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a Dutch oven or large skillet. Brown the beef chunks on all sides in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Add more oil if needed. Plate the browned beef, reserving any pan juices, and cover to keep warm.
- In the same pot, melt the butter. Add the mushrooms and cook for a few minutes until they begin to soften. Add the onions and continue cooking until they start to soften and the mushrooms turn golden brown. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Remove everything from the pan and place it on the plate with the beef chunks.
- Pour the red wine into the pot and scrape the bottom and sides with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. Simmer the wine gently until it reduces by half. Stir in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the cornstarch and cold water. Slowly pour this mixture into the simmering liquid while stirring constantly.
- Return the mushroom mixture and beef tips (along with any pan juices) to the skillet. Gently simmer for 10 minutes to thicken the mixture and finish cooking the beef. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the beef tips and gravy over noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with chopped fresh thyme or parsley if desired. Enjoy your delicious meal!
