Beef Tips with Mushroom Gravy
There’s just something incredibly satisfying about tender beef tips smothered in a rich, savory mushroom gravy. It’s the kind of stick-to-your-ribs comfort food that feels like a warm hug on a chilly evening. As the nights grow longer, I find myself craving hearty, homestyle meals like this classic dish.
Beef tips were a staple in my Southern grandma’s kitchen. I can still remember the aroma of browned beef and mushrooms simmering away that would waft through her little ranch house. No matter how fancy the company, she always served her beef tips over a pile of fluffy mashed potatoes – a rustic yet indulgent presentation. With each bite, you got that perfect ratio of succulent steak morsels to luscious gravy. It was comfort food at its finest.
While this dish may seem humble, there’s a certain art to nailing that perfect beefy mushroom gravy. Let me show you how it’s done!
Why This Beef Tips Recipe Works
- Using sirloin steak ensures tender, quick-cooking beef for optimal results
- Dredging the beef in flour creates a rich, velvety sauce
- Double hit of beef broth and Worcestershire sauce adds loads of savory umami flavor
- Buttery sautéed mushrooms give an extra layer of meaty, earthy notes
- It’s a one-pan, 30-minute meal – the perfect fuss-free weeknight dinner!
The Key Ingredients
- Sirloin Steak: Look for pre-cut “beef tips” or cube your own sirloin into 1-inch pieces. You want enough bite but not too tough.
- Mushrooms: I prefer cremini for their earthy taste, but white or baby bellas work too.
- Onions & Garlic: This flavorful base is key for building the gravy.
- Beef Broth: For a deeply savory, rich gravy. Use low-sodium if watching your salt intake.
- Worcestershire & Soy Sauce: Punches up the umami factor and seasons the gravy perfectly.
- Flour: To create a thick, velvety gravy that coats each bite.
