Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs sirloin tips, cubed
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef stock
- 1 cube beef bouillon
- 1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
- ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with ¼ cup cold water
Instructions
- Season the beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and paprika. Add flour and toss until well coated.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in batches, ensuring each side browns, about 1 minute per side. Don’t overcrowd the pan. Once browned, remove the beef and set aside.
- Pour ¼ cup of beef broth into the skillet to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the broth reduce slightly, then add butter and onions, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add beef stock, bouillon cube, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and rosemary. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water. Gradually whisk this into the simmering gravy, stirring constantly until thickened.
- Reduce heat to low, return the beef to the skillet, and let it simmer, partially covered, for 10-15 minutes until the beef is tender.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles, and enjoy!
