Y’all, I can’t even…
These beef tips and mushroom gravy are to die for! We had none left after serving this meal. And let me tell ya why…
These beef tips are actually beef stew meat. You know, the stew meat you see in the store but don’t necessarily feel like beef stew? Well, move over beef stew because there’s a new sheriff in town when it comes to stew meat. 😉
These beef tips are braised in beef broth for 30 minutes before making the gravy. O.M.G, y’all, the gravy! The gravy is where it’s at. We were fighting over who got more on their plate. Because, um…gravy. I heart any and all gravy but this mushroom gravy really stands out.
It’s deep. And dark. And filled with mushrooms and freshly chopped garlic. It’s made from a base of beef broth- the same beef broth that the stew meat is braised in (remember our last Jamaican Oxtail Recipe Slow Cooker?). It’s delightful. And satisfying. And complements the braised stew meat to create the perfect comfort-food meal.

Ingredients
- 2lbs beef stew meat
- 8 oz sliced mushrooms
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 3 cups beef broth, divided
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup cornstarch or flour
- 1/4 cup cold water
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a cast iron skillet (or heavy saucepan) heat 2 Tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Generously salt and pepper stew meat. Brown stew meat for 3-5 minutes on each side.
- Add 2 cups beef broth to pan with meat. Bring to a boil then turn the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 30 minutes. Remove meat from the pan with a slotted spoon or tongs. Set aside.
- Turn heat to medium-high and bring broth to a boil. Add mushrooms and chopped garlic. Cook for 10 minutes. Remove mushrooms with a slotted spoon. Set aside (I just put the mushrooms in a bowl with the meat).
- Add 1 cup broth to pan. While it comes to a boil, whisk flour (or cornstarch) with water in a cup, ensuring all clumps are whisked out. Add mixture to the broth in the pan, whisking constantly until it comes to a simmer. Turn the heat down to low and simmer for 3 minutes. Stir.
- Add meat and mushrooms back to the pan with the gravy. Let simmer for 5 minutes. Serve!
Notes
- While beef stew meat is recommended, you can also use other cuts like chuck roast or sirloin for different textures and flavors. Just ensure the meat is well-marbled for the best results.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as cremini, shiitake, or portobello, to add unique flavors and textures to your gravy.
- If you prefer a thicker gravy, you can increase the amount of cornstarch or flour in the slurry. For a gluten-free option, cornstarch is the way to go!
