Step 1

Season beef tips with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium skillet, heat olive oil to medium-high heat. Sear seasoned beef tips on both sides.

Step 3

Reduce heat to low, then add the onion and garlic. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, until onion is tender.

Step 4

Add 1 cup beef broth, Worcestershire sauce and bouillon, stirring to combine. Cover loosely with lid.

Step 5

Continue cooking beef tips over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 1 to 2 hours, until fork tender. (The longer the beef tips simmer, the more tender they become. You can add a little more beef broth while cooking, if needed.)

Step 6

Right before you are ready to serve, whisk to combine the gravy packets with 1 cup of low-sodium beef broth. Pour gravy mixture into the skillet and stir to combine.

Step 7

Raise the heat to medium and bring the gravy to a simmer, cooking for about 2 to 4 minutes, until gravy has thickened.

Step 8

Taste your gravy to make sure it is well seasoned, then remove from heat and serve as desired (over rice, mashed potatoes or egg noodles).
