Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef sirloin tips
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 3 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef sirloin tips with salt and black pepper. Lightly dust the pieces with all-purpose flour, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the beef tips in batches, searing each side until browned. Remove the beef and set it aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the diced yellow onion and cook until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 4

Deglaze the skillet by pouring in 1/2 cup of the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 5

Return the seared beef tips to the skillet. Add the remaining beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme sprigs. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the skillet or Dutch oven with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 75-90 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Gradually stir the slurry into the simmering beef and gravy to thicken the sauce. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.

Step 8

Remove the thyme sprigs and taste the gravy, adjusting for salt and pepper if necessary.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve hot over rice, mashed potatoes, or egg noodles.
