Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Season 1 pound of beef tips with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Sear for 5-7 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for an additional minute.
  3. Return the seared beef tips to the skillet and pour in 2 cups of beef broth and 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth. Gradually stir into the simmering mixture, whisking continuously for about 5-10 minutes until thickened.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot over mashed potatoes or rice.
