Melt In Your Mouth Beef Tips with Mushroom Gravy

—

### Instructions

1. **Sear the beef**: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season beef with salt and pepper, then sear in batches until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.

2. **Sauté the aromatics**: In the same pot, reduce heat to medium and add onions and garlic. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until they release their juices and begin to brown.

3. **Build the flavor**: Return the beef to the pot. Add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce (if using), and thyme. Stir to combine.

4. **Simmer low and slow**: Cover and simmer on low for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender. Stir occasionally and add water if needed to maintain liquid.

5. **Thicken the gravy**: Mix cornstarch with cold water to make a slurry. Stir into the pot and cook for another 5–10 minutes, until the gravy thickens to your liking.

6. **Serve and enjoy**: Spoon beef tips and gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
