# Steps:
01 -
Combine beef seasoning mix. Cut meat into 1-inch cubes, discarding large pieces of fat. Sprinkle beef seasoning over the meat and toss to coat. Add flour and toss again.
02 -
Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meat in batches, browning each side for 30-45 seconds without overcrowding. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining beef.
03 -
Deglaze the pan with ¼ cup of red wine, scraping up browned bits with a silicone spatula. Let the wine reduce by half over gentle heat.
04 -
Reduce heat to medium and add butter and onions to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
05 -
Add all remaining gravy ingredients except the cornstarch mixture to the pan. Bring to a boil.
06 -
Combine cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl. Gradually whisk into the gravy, stirring continuously until desired consistency is reached.
07 -
Reduce heat to medium-low. Add seared beef and juices to the pan. Cover partially and cook for 10-15 minutes until beef is fully cooked.
08 -
For a velvety finish, optionally stir in 1 tablespoon of cold butter before serving.
09 -
Pair beef tips and gravy with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Use dry red wine for a deeper flavor, but substitute with beef broth if preferred.
02 -
Avoid overcrowding the pan during searing to ensure proper caramelization.
