A hearty dish featuring tender beef tips in a rich French onion gravy made with both fresh onions and French onion soup. This dish is perfect for cozy dinners, served with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds beef tips (or stew meat)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) French onion soup
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon thyme (dried or fresh)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons flour (for thickening)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for richness)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef Tips: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the beef tips in batches for 4-5 minutes on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Onions and Garlic: In the same pan, sauté sliced onions for 8-10 minutes until softened and golden. Add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add Soup and Broth: Stir in French onion soup and beef broth. Add Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, thyme, and pepper, scraping up any browned bits.
  4. Return Beef and Simmer: Add beef tips back into the pan. Simmer on medium-low for 1-1.5 hours until beef is tender and sauce thickens.
  5. Thicken the Gravy: Make a slurry by mixing flour with cold water, and add it to the sauce. Simmer for 5-10 minutes. Stir in butter if desired for extra richness.

Notes

  • Use a cornstarch slurry for a smoother sauce if preferred.
  • Add a splash of red wine or balsamic vinegar for added depth.
