If I have red wine in the house, I will replace water with 1/4 to 1/3 cup, and pour the rest in a glass. 😀 Fresh garlic is best, but garlic powder works well too. Mushrooms are also a wonderful addition. Serve the beef tips over rice, mashed potatoes or eggs noodles. Add a side salad and your favorite veggie and you have yourself a satisfying meal the whole family will enjoy.

Best-Ever Beef Tips
- 2 lbs cubed beef stew meat
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (or canola)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cups water
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (I use fresh garlic)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- *1 package brown gravy mix (.75 ounce)
- 1 cup water
*For less salt/ lower sodium, leave out the teaspoon of salt and use reduced sodium soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and brown gravy mix.

- Red wine is an awesome addition. I use 1/4 to 1/3 cup of wine – replacing an equal amount of water with wine (1/4 cup wine plus 1 3/4 cups water OR 1/3 cup wine with 1 2/3 cups water).
- Mushrooms are a great addition too.

This looks beyond delicious and so easy for an elegant dinner. Going to the cupboard and if I have the gravy mix…dinner tonight. If not then soon as I can get to the grocery for the gravy. Thanks so much for sharing!!!! Being shut in as we are these days I run out of ideas for tasty meals so your site is a great hep.
I made these and oh my goodness this is the best recipe ever. I did it exactly as written…except I only had one pound of stew beef but that was okay as we like lots of gravy!!! Added the mushrooms…used the red wine. This is a keeper and a great family meal or for dinner guests…if we’re ever allowed to have guests again. 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing!!! Now I have to check out all your recipes!!!!
Came out delicious! The only change I made was using one cup red wine and one cup water. Would make again!
This is delicious, but I suggest that 1 cup of the “2 cups water (or part water part wine)” be saved for the gravy mix. Adding in that extra cup of water with the gravy mix in it, well, I boiled and boiled that sucker and eventually, to get dinner on the table on time, had to mix almost 1/2 cup flour with a small amount of water and add it to the “soup” that 1 cup of water created.
As for “taking a minute” to brown the meat on each side…Don’t know what pan was used, but putting the meat in with the onions (which don’t get translucent on medium to high heat, but burn) on a lowered heat (so onions stopped burning) created a beef and onion swimming pool as the juices came out of the meat. Once all ingredients (except gravy/water) were together in a 6 qt pan I simmered it for 1 1/2 hours. The meat chunks were extremely tender and the gravy was very savory. We liked it a lot.
Next time I will do the onions to our liking first, remove to a bowl until needed, and saute the meat a pound at a time.
I just tried this recipe. My husband loved it. It’s simple and delicious.
This is absolutely the best beef tips recipe I have ever used. DELICIOUS!! How can I modify the beef tips recipe for a crockpot?
i hope we can, i would love to try making this in a crock-pot.
This was absolutely delicious!!!! I added about 1.5 cups of Merlot..1/2 cup water to start…I also had to use cornstarch at end to thicken up a bit… but this was a hit!!!! Thank u
Will sirloin steak instead of beef work with this recipe?
In don’t have the gravy mix but I do have it in a jar, will that work?
How do I make this in the crockpot?
Really enjoyed this one! Very filling. loved adding mushrooms! Will make this one again!

This looks like beef soup in my pan after adding gravy. Did I miss a step or is something wrong that it’s not thickening?
Mine did too
