Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F.
- Pat the beef tips dry, then toss them with flour, salt, and black pepper until lightly coated.
- Heat the Caramelized Onion Infused Olive Oil and butter in a large oven-safe Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Sear the beef tips in batches until browned on most sides, then transfer them to a plate.
- Add the sliced onion to the pot and cook, stirring often, until softened and golden around the edges.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the red wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and bay leaf, then return the beef tips and any juices to the pot.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, cover, and transfer to the oven.
- Roast for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring once halfway through, until the beef is fork-tender.
- Whisk the cornstarch with cold water, stir it into the pot, and simmer on the stovetop for 3 to 5 minutes until the gravy thickens.
- Remove the bay leaf, stir in the parsley, and serve hot with the gravy spooned over the beef tips.
Notes
This recipe leans into slow, savory comfort and works best with a well-browned sear before roasting. The gravy should be rich and spoonable, not overly thick, so adjust with a little extra stock if needed. For the cleanest finish, let the pot rest a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle into the sauce.
