Ingredients:

1.5 lbs beef stew meat or beef tips, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 oz mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup beef broth
1 cup red wine (optional, or replace with additional beef broth)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

 

Instructions:

Brown the Beef:
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add beef tips in batches and brown on all sides. Remove beef and set aside.
Cook the Vegetables:
In the same skillet, cook onion until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
Add garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant.
Add mushrooms and cook until golden brown and moisture evaporates, about 5-7 minutes.
Make the Gravy:
Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir to combine. Cook 1-2 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
Gradually add beef broth and red wine (if using), stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer.
Combine Ingredients:
Return beef tips to the skillet. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours until beef is tender and gravy thickens. Stir occasionally.
Finish and Serve:
Remove bay leaf.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
