Ingredients
Scale
Beef Tips
- 1 pound beef chuck roast, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil (such as vegetable or olive oil)
Sauce
- 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Season the beef: Season the beef cubes evenly with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavor.
- Sauté onions: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until they become translucent and soft.
- Sear the beef: Add the seasoned beef cubes to the skillet. Cook, turning occasionally, until all sides are nicely browned, about 8 minutes, to lock in the juices.
- Add garlic and liquids: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant. Then pour in the beef broth, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Thicken the sauce: Gradually whisk in the cornstarch and water mixture to the skillet, stirring constantly. Continue cooking for about 2 minutes until the sauce thickens to a smooth consistency.
- Serve: Serve the beef tips hot over steamed rice or creamy mashed potatoes, spooning extra sauce over the top for added flavor.
Notes
- For extra tenderness, consider marinating the beef in soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Use low-sodium broth to control salt content and adjust seasoning after cooking.
- If you prefer a gluten-free option, substitute soy sauce with tamari sauce.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
