  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Beef Tips

  • 1 pound beef tenderloin tips
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil

Mushroom Gravy

  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup sliced onion
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 ½ cups beef broth
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Season Beef: Pat the beef tenderloin tips dry with paper towels. Season evenly with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the natural flavors.
  2. Brown the Beef Tips: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned beef tips and sear them until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté Aromatics and Mushrooms: In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until they become translucent, approximately 3 minutes. Then add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Deglaze and Build Gravy: Pour in 1 ½ cups of beef broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Stir in 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce and 1 teaspoon dried thyme. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Thicken the Gravy: In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water to create a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the simmering gravy, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Combine and Finish Cooking: Return the browned beef tips to the skillet with the mushroom gravy. Reduce heat to low and let everything simmer together for 3-5 minutes, allowing the beef to finish cooking and soak up the flavors without overcooking.
  7. Serve: Serve the beef tenderloin tips smothered in the mushroom gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles for a delicious meal.

Notes

  • Beef tenderloin cooks quickly; avoid overcooking to keep it tender and juicy.
  • The cornstarch slurry is essential for thickening the gravy without lumps.
  • Feel free to substitute fresh thyme for dried if available, but reduce the quantity to ½ teaspoon.
  • For added richness, a splash of heavy cream can be stirred into the gravy at the end.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed green vegetables or a fresh salad.
