How do you make Beef Tips and Gravy?

Start by melting a little butter in a heavy skillet.  Add the mushrooms and cook for a few minutes.  Now add the onions and cook until they start to soften and the mushrooms turn a nice golden brown. Add the garlic and cook for one additional minute.  Remove everything from the pan and place on a plate.

Now add the beef tips to a large ziploc bag with flour, salt and pepper.  Add the a little oil in the same skillet over medium heat.  Now add the beef tips and cook until browned on all sides.  Remove from the pan and place on a plate or you can use the same plate as the vegetables as long as it is big enough.  Add the wine to the skillet and stir scraping the brown bits off the bottom.  This technique is commonly referred to as deglazing.  Add all but one half cup of the beef broth and add the Worcestershire Sauce.  Reduce the heat and simmer for five minutes.

Stir one quarter cup of flour with the half cup of beef broth.  Slowly whisk the mixture into the liquid in the skillet. Cook for just a couple of minutes or until slightly thickened.  Add the mushroom mixture and beef tips back to the skillet.  Simmer for about five minutes or so.  Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.  Serve over noodles, rice or mashed potatoes.

Recipe notes and helpful tips

• Purchase good quality beef tenderloin or steak
• Look for mushrooms that are firm, free from blemishes and have a smooth appearance. They should be dry to the touch but not dried out.
• Always use a wine of good quality.  In other words one that you would enjoy a glass of.
• Choose a red that is dry and medium to light bodied.  Good choices are Merlot, Pinot Noir or a Cabernet.
• If the gravy becomes too thick upon simmering add a couple of tablespoons  of beef broth to thin it out.
• This recipe really calls for the wine and the mushrooms. Without both of them it really is not quite as delicious.

So if you have a hankering for an easy deeeeeeeelish comfort dinner than I have your ticket. This One Skillet Savory Beef Tips and Gravy will make your day!
