Ingredients
  

  • 30 milliliters 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 907 grams 2 pounds cubed chuck or stew meat
  • 298 milliliters 10 1/2 ounces beef broth
  • 298 milliliters 10 1/2 ounces condensed French onion soup
  • 15 milliliters 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 45 grams 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 80 milliliters 1/3 cup water

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the cubed beef with salt and pepper, then brown in small batches. Once browned, remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil to the pot. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 10 minutes.
  • Return the browned beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth, condensed French onion soup, Worcestershire sauce, and add the bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.
  • In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water until smooth. Gradually pour the cornstarch mixture into the pot, stirring constantly, until the gravy reaches the desired consistency.
  • Taste and season the beef and gravy with additional salt and pepper if needed. Discard the bay leaf before serving.
  • Serve the Beef Tips and Gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta noodles, and enjoy the hearty goodness!
