Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

2 pounds beef chuck roast (cubed or stew meat)
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 yellow onion (chopped)
1 (10.5 ounce) can beef broth
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed French onion soup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 bay leaf
chopped fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Method

Trim any fat from the beef and toss with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat in large pot or Dutch oven. Add the seasoned beef and cook in small batches until browned. Transfer the beef to a bowl and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining oil. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Add the beef, beef broth, condensed onion soup, Worcestershire sauce, and bay leaf to the pot. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for 1½ to 2 hours or until beef is fork-tender.
To thicken the gravy, combine 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with ⅓ cup cold water. Pour into the beef mixture a little at a time while stirring until it reaches the desired consistency.
Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if desired. Discard bay leaf and serve over mashed potatoes immediately.

Notes

– For the most tender beef tips, ensure your chuck roast simmers for the full 1.5 to 2 hours, or until it’s easily shredded with a fork. There is no shortcut to truly tender beef.
– If you don’t have French onion soup, a can of regular condensed onion soup works perfectly fine, offering a similar depth of flavor.
– To store, refrigerate leftover beef tips in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of beef broth if the gravy has thickened too much.
