With a few simple ingredients and some basic cooking techniques, you'll be able to create a mouthwatering dinner that will leave your family wanting more.
Ingredients:
* 1 pound beef round tip or top sirloin, sliced into thin strips
* 1 tablespoon butter or oil
* 1 onion, sliced
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 1 cup beef broth
* 1/4 cup red wine (optional)
* 1 tablespoon tomato paste
* 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
* 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
* 1 teaspoon dried thyme
* Salt and pepper, to taste
* 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
* 1 cup cooked long-grain rice or noodles
Cooking Steps:
1. Heat the butter or oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic and sliced beef to the skillet. Cook until the beef is browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
3. Add the flour to the skillet and stir to coat the beef and onions evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
4. Gradually add the beef broth, red wine (if using), tomato paste, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme to the skillet, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 1 1/2 hours, or until the beef is tender and falls apart easily.
6. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
7. Serve the beef tips and sauce over a bed of cooked rice or noodles.
Tips and Variations:
* For a more intense flavor, use beef broth that has been reduced to a glaze or add an additional 1-2 tablespoons of tomato paste.
* Swap out the beef broth for a dashi broth (made with dried seaweed and dried fish) for a Japanese-inspired twist.
* Add some heat to the dish by incorporating diced jalapeños or serrano peppers into the sauce.
* Substitute the beef with chicken or pork, adjusting the cooking time and seasonings as needed.
* Serve the beef tips over mashed potatoes or egg noodles for a comforting and filling meal.
Additional Variations:
* Asian-Inspired Beef Tips: Add sliced bell peppers, snow peas, and soy sauce to the skillet during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
* Spicy Beef Tips: Add diced jalapeños and a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the skillet with the onions and garlic.
* Mushroom-Creamy Beef Tips: Add 1 cup of heavy cream to the sauce and simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your liking.
