Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds beef sirloin tips
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, sliced
- 3 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 0.5 cup red wine (optional)
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Start by patting the beef sirloin tips dry with a paper towel. Season with black pepper.
Step 2
Place the flour in a large bowl and lightly dust each beef tip by tossing them in the flour.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Add the beef tips to the skillet in batches to avoid overcrowding, searing them until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Once browned, transfer beef tips to a plate and set aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Step 6
Add the minced garlic, sliced carrots, and celery, sautéing for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Step 7
Pour in the low-sodium beef broth and optional red wine to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
Step 8
Add the beef tips back into the skillet along with the fresh thyme and bay leaf.
Step 9
Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let braise for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender.
Step 10
Once the beef is tender, remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaf. Stir in the chopped parsley.
Step 11
Adjust seasoning as necessary with additional black pepper if desired. Serve hot.
