Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb beef stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 packet brown gravy mix
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: cooked rice or mashed potatoes for serving
Instructions
- Brown the Beef:
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking. This should take about 5-7 minutes. - Add Onion:
Stir in the chopped onion and cook until it is softened and translucent, approximately 3-4 minutes. The onions will enhance the overall flavor of the dish, adding a subtle sweetness. - Make Gravy:
In a separate bowl, combine the brown gravy mix with beef broth, whisking until smooth. Pour this mixture over the beef and onions in the skillet. Stir well to ensure the beef is evenly coated. - Simmer:
Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. This allows the beef to become tender and the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. - Serve:
Spoon the beef tips and gravy over cooked rice or mashed potatoes. This dish is best enjoyed warm, as the rich gravy perfectly complements the fluffy rice or creamy potatoes.
