Ingredients
  

For the Beef

For the Base

  • 1 large onion, sliced Sweetness from the onions adds a beautiful balance to the dish.
  • 8 oz fresh button mushrooms, sliced These mushrooms bring earthiness and enhance the savory profile.
For the Gravy
  • 2 cups low-sodium beef broth Opt for low-sodium to control seasoning without sacrificing taste.

Cooking Steps
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Sauté the sliced onions until they turn translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the beef tips to the skillet. Sear them until browned on all sides, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the sliced mushrooms, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the mushrooms are tender, around 4-5 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture, stirring well. Gradually whisk in the beef broth to avoid lumps.
  5. Bring to a gentle simmer, then cover and cook for 20-30 minutes, allowing the gravy to thicken.
