Beef Tips and Gravy

Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1Trim any fat from the beef and toss with ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
2. 2Heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat in large pot or Dutch oven. Add the seasoned beef and cook in small batches until browned. Transfer the beef to a bowl and set aside.
3. 3Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining oil. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
4. 4Add the beef, broth, condensed onion soup, Worcestershire sauce, and bay leaf to the pot. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to simmer. Simmer for 1 ½ to 2 hours or until beef is fork tender.
5. 5To thicken the gravy, combine cornstarch with ⅓ cup cold water. Pour into the beef mixture a little at a time while stirring until it reaches the desired consistency.
6. 6Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if desired. Discard bay leaf and serve over mashed potatoes.
