Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds sirloin tip, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the meat dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking.
Searing the Meat
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, sear the beef tips for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  2. Don't overcrowd the pan, as this will prevent proper browning.
Building Flavors
  1. Remove meat and set aside. In the same pan, sauté onions and garlic until translucent.
  2. Add Worcestershire sauce and thyme, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
Final Cooking
  1. Return meat to the pan, add beef broth, and simmer covered for 30-35 minutes or until tender.
  2. Finish with butter for extra richness and glossy sauce.

Notes

Healthier Alternatives: Use grass-fed beef for omega-3 content, replace butter with olive oil, use low-sodium beef broth, and consider adding more vegetables like mushrooms and bell peppers. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a covered pan with a splash of beef broth. You can freeze portions for up to 3 months.
