How to Make Beef Tips and Gravy
This easy dinner comes together in just a few easy to follow steps!
- Coat the steak. Whisk together the cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the steak pieces to coat evenly.
- Sear the steak. Heat olive oil over medium high heat in a skillet until simmering. Add the steak to the pan and cook until golden brown on all sides. Remove the meat from the pan and keep warm on a plate.
- Sauté the veggies. Add the onions to the pan and cook until softened, then toss in the mushrooms and cook until browned. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Deglaze the pan. Stir in the white wine. As you stir, scrape up any brown bits that are on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Continue to cook until the wine is reduced by half.
- Make the gravy. Whisk in the beef stock and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to low. Continue to cook until it starts to thicken. Stir in the seasonings and dijon mustard.
- Serve and enjoy! Return the beef tips to the pan and season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve over egg noodles and enjoy!
Tips for the Best Beef Tips with Gravy
- Deglazing the pan is so important! There’s an incredible amount of flavor in those little brown bits that get scraped up from the bottom of the pan. Plus, you want to use a wooden spoon so you don’t scratch your pan.
- Use a dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc. You’ll want to avoid super sweet white wines, as they’ll lend a sweet flavor to your otherwise savory dish.
- For the BEST flavor, consider using Homemade Beef Stock! While the store-bought stuff works just fine, I’ve found that homemade stock really enhances the flavor of this gravy like crazy.

I made this last nite for dinner. I had all the ingredients on hand. My only variation was I used a rosè wine to deglaze the pan. Excellent flavors-we really enjoyed this dish & hubby & I both had seconds! Another great recipe!
