Red Wine Braised Beef Tips

Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef tips , see Note:
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 large onion
• 12 ounces mushrooms
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 cup red wine
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.25 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Season beef tips with salt and black pepper.

2. 2

   Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, then add oil. Add seasoned beef tips and brown on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove beef tips to a plate and keep warm.

3. 3

   Reduce heat to medium; add onions and mushrooms. Cook, stirring continuously, until vegetables are softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and thyme.

4. 4

   Pour in wine, and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a boil and add beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Adjust seasoning, if necessary, and add meat and any accumulated juices to the pot.

5. 5

   Bake, covered, in the preheated oven until meat is fork tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Using a slotted spoon, remove meat and mushrooms from braising liquid.

6. 6

   Place flour in a small bowl and add about 1/2 cup of water. Whisk briskly until there are no lumps. Whisk about 1/2 cup of braising liquid into the flour mixture.

7. 7

   Whisk flour mixture into the braising liquid in the pan. Place pot over medium heat, stirring briskly, until mixture comes to a boil. Continue to whisk until bubbles collapse and look like bullseyes, about 3 minutes. Add beef and mushrooms back to the liquid and serve.
