- 1 Skillet
- 1 Strainer
Ingredients
Protein
- 3 lbs chuck roast
Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon garlic and Italian paste
- Salt and AP seasoning
Wet Ingredients
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2.5 cups beef stock
Produce
- 3 carrots 3 celery, 2 onion
- 1 tablespoon Rosemary thyme, 1 bay leaf
Instructions
Prepping
- Begin by prepping your chuck roast - ensure that the beef is cut into uniform, bite-sized pieces.
- Next, prep your mirepoix (carrots, celery, and onion).
Optional
- Optionally, you can marinate your beef for anywhere from 1-24 hours.
- Today we are keeping it simple with olive oil, Italian herb paste, garlic paste, AP seasoning, and worst word in the world sauce - aka Worcestershire.
Searing the Beef:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, add the beef pieces in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Sear the beef on all sides until browned, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
Sautéing Aromatics:
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic.
- Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Next, add in your beef stock and bring to a simmer.
- Add the beef and mix to combine.
Simmering:
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
- Allow the beef tips to simmer in the flavorful sauce for about 45-60 minutes, or until the beef is tender and cooked to your liking. This slow simmer allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Optional Thickening:
- Optional Thickening: If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can create a slurry by mixing 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour with a small amount of cold water until smooth.
- Stir this mixture into the skillet during the last few minutes of cooking, then simmer until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
Seasoning and Serving:
- Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed.
- Once satisfied with the flavor, remove the skillet from the heat.
- Serve the beef tips hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired, alongside your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up that delicious sauce.
