Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 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
- 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.
- Don't overcrowd the pan, as this will prevent proper browning.
Building Flavors
- Remove meat and set aside. In the same pan, sauté onions and garlic until translucent.
- Add Worcestershire sauce and thyme, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
Final Cooking
- Return meat to the pan, add beef broth, and simmer covered for 30-35 minutes or until tender.
- 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.
