Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 ½ lbs. sirloin tips
3 Tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ cup dry red wine (optional)
3 Tablespoons cold butter (separated)
1 small yellow onion (diced)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
2 cups beef broth
1 beef bouillon cube
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup cold water + 3 tablespoons corn starch

Steps:

  • Combine beef seasoning mix and measure out gravy ingredients before beginning.
  • Cut meat into 1-inch cubes, discard any large pieces of fat.
  • Combine beef seasoning and sprinkle it over the meat. Toss to coat. Sprinkle flour over the meat and toss again.
  • Heat 3 Tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meat in batches, don't overcrowd the pan. Brown on each side for 45 seconds. Add a splash of more oil if needed. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining beef. *Don't cook the beef all the way through. You want it to cook in the gravy to add more flavor.
  • Add ¼ cup wine and use a silicone spatula to "clean" (deglaze) the bottom of the pan, removing any brown remnants. The brown specks are called "fond" and will give the sauce lots of good flavor.
  • Let the wine gently bubble and reduce by half. Reduce heat to medium and add 2 TBS butter and the onions. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add all remaining gravy ingredients except the cornstarch mixture and remaining cold butter. Bring to a boil.
  • Combine the corn starch and cold water. Whisk into the sauce, a little at a time. Stir continuously. Continue until your desired consistency is obtained.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add the beef along with the juices from the plate. Cook with the lid partially covered for 10-15 minutes, until beef is cooked through. Remove from heat.
  • Optional: Swirl in 1 Tablespoon of COLD butter at the end, this is called "Monter au Beurre" and it adds a smooth, velvety finish to sauces and gravies.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or over rice!

LAZY BEEF AND GRAVY CASSEROLE



Lazy Beef and Gravy Casserole image

A delicious gravy forms during the cooking of this very easy and tender beef dish. (I got this recipe out of the American Heart Association Cookbook back in the '80's and have made it many, many times. I like the long cooking time because I can get so many other things done while the meat is cooking. (I would imagine it could be done in a crockpot, but I have never done it.)
