Beef Tips & Gravy

Step 1

In a large pot or dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Season beef with salt and pepper and brown in small batches. Remove beef from the pot and set aside.

Step 2

Turn heat down to medium, add remaining oil and onion. Cook until softened, about 10 minutes.

Step 3

Add beef, broth, soup, Worcestershire sauce and bay leaf to the pot. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to simmer 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until beef is fork tender.

Step 4

To thicken gravy, combine cornstarch with 1/3 cup cold water. Pour into the beef a little at a time while stirring until it reaches desired consistency.

Step 5

Taste and season with salt and pepper. Discard bay leaf and serve over mashed potatoes.
