Ingredients
2 pounds beef sirloin tips, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups beef broth
1 cup water
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add beef tips to the skillet in batches, browning on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove browned beef and set aside.
In the same skillet, add diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Return the browned beef tips to the skillet.
Pour in beef broth, water, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Stir to combine.
Add dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour 15 minutes or until beef is tender.
In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and cold water to make a slurry.
Uncover the skillet and stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the gravy thickens.
Remove from heat and allow to cool before portioning into freezer-safe containers.
Label containers with date and freeze for up to 3 months.
To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and warm on the stovetop over medium heat until heated through.
