Beef tips with gravy is the ultimate comfort food—tender chunks of beef slow-simmered in a rich, savory brown gravy. Serve it over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles for a cozy, satisfying meal. Whether cooked on the stovetop, in a slow cooker, or in an Instant Pot, this dish is a guaranteed family favorite.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 lbs stew beef or sirloin tips, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef – Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt butter and sear the beef tips until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Onions and Garlic – In the same skillet, add chopped onions and garlic. Cook until softened and fragrant.
  3. Make the Gravy Base – Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir well. Gradually add beef broth while stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
  4. Simmer to Perfection – Return the beef to the skillet, then add Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and seasonings. Cover and let it simmer until the beef is tender (about 1-2 hours).
  5. Adjust and Serve – If needed, adjust the seasoning or add more broth for desired gravy consistency. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.

Notes

  • Use chuck roast or sirloin tips for the best texture.
  • Browning the beef before simmering enhances the flavor.
  • For extra richness, stir in a splash of heavy cream or a pat of butter before serving.
