How to make Beef Tips with Gravy:
Step 1: Brown the bacon pieces over medium to high heat in a cast iron skillet. Use a wooden spoon to move the bacon around so it does not burn.
Step 2: Once the bacon is browned remove it onto a small plate lined with paper towels. Add olive oil to the bacon fat in the pan. Heat over medium heat.
Step 3: Place the stew beef on a half sheet pan lined with parchment paper and paper towels. Pat the stew beef dry with clean, dry paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 4: Brown a few pieces of stew beef at a time. Let them brown really well on all sides. Use tongs to turn the meat.
Step 5: Once the beef tips are browned place them in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 6: Saute the mushroom slices over medium heat. Use a wooden spoon to move them around occasionally, browning all sides. Once they are browned, but not fully cooked, spoon them over top of the browned stew beef. Add the bacon to the baking dish as well.
Step 7: Deglaze the pan with red wine. Add the beef stock and use a wooden spoon to remove all of the brown bits off the bottom of the pan.
Step 8: To thicken the gravy, add 2 tablespoons of corn starch to 1 cup of cold water. Stir with a spoon to dissolve. Add this mixture to the red wine and beef stock mixture. Use a whisk to combine while it comes to a simmer. This will help you prevent any clumps forming.
Step 9: Pour the gravy over the mushrooms and beef tips. Place into a preheated 350 degree F oven for 2 hours. Enjoy with mashed potatoes or noodles.
Often times I will line aluminum foil around the pan to help with the splatter from browning the beef. It makes clean up so much easier!
Don’t these beef tips with mushrooms and a brown gravy look delicious? They are super easy to make and so deliciously tender. Beef tips in the oven are perfect with roasted garlic mashed potatoes.
Everyone always asks me, what product do I use to get my kitchen clean?
Advanage 20x cleaner is the BEST cleaner! It’s a concentrated cleaner. Just get yourself an empty spray bottle and add some water to this concentrated cleaner. Spray on whatever surfaces you need to clean and wipe clean with a clean, wet towel. For harder to clean surfaces scrub with a piece of Scotchbrite first, then wipe clean with a clean, wet cloth. This is my go to cleaner for everything!
