Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds beef stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Add the beef stew meat and toss to coat.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the coated beef stew meat and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
- Deglaze the skillet by adding the beef broth and scraping the bottom of the skillet to loosen any browned bits. Stir in the water, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and brown sugar.
- Return the browned beef to the skillet and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover and cook over low heat for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the beef is tender.
- If desired, mix cornstarch with a little water to make a slurry. Stir the slurry into the beef mixture to thicken the sauce.
- Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted and incorporated into the sauce.
- Serve the beef tips over mashed potatoes or buttered noodles. Enjoy!
