Method:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the necessary ingredients โ beef stew meat, onion, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, water, garlic, salt, pepper, and gravy mix. Ensure everything is measured and ready to use.
-
Sear the Meat: Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the onion and sautรฉ until translucent. Next, add the beef stew meat and cook until it browns on all sides, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes.
-
Add Flavor: Pour in 2 cups of water along with the soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Stir in the minced garlic, salt, and pepper to season the mixture.
-
Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and allow the beef to simmer gently for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. This slow cooking process helps tenderize the meat and allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Prepare Gravy: In a separate bowl, combine the gravy mix with 1 cup of water. Mix thoroughly until the gravy mix is fully dissolved. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the beef, stirring constantly. Continue cooking until the gravy slightly thickens, coating the beef with its rich flavor.
-
Serve: Once the beef tips are tender and the gravy has thickened to your liking, itโs time to serve! Spoon the beef tips and gravy over cooked egg noodles, allowing the noodles to soak up all the delicious flavors.
-
Enjoy: Gather around the table with your loved ones and savor every bite of this hearty and comforting dish. Pair it with your favorite side dishes or simply enjoy it on its own for a satisfying meal.
Tips:
- For an extra depth of flavor, you can add sliced mushrooms or bell peppers to the skillet along with the onion.
- If you prefer a thicker gravy, you can adjust the consistency by adding more gravy mix or allowing it to simmer for a bit longer.
