Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef sirloin tips, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons coconut aminos or soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the beef sirloin tips to the skillet in a single layer, cooking in batches if necessary, and sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the onions, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.

Step 5

Return the beef tips to the skillet. Add the beef broth, coconut aminos (or soy sauce), dried thyme, salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 25-30 minutes until the beef is tender.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to form a slurry.

Step 8

Uncover the skillet, and slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the beef mixture, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.

Step 9

Increase the heat slightly and continue cooking, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes, or until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 10

Adjust seasoning to taste with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 11

Serve the dairy-free beef tips and gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite grain, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
