Gluten Free Classic Beef Tips and Gravy

Total time1 hr 30 min

Prep time15 min

Cook time1 hr 15 min

Tender cubes of beef sirloin sear until deeply browned, then simmer low and slow with sautéed onion, garlic, and earthy cremini mushrooms until they turn fork-tender. The gravy builds up rich and glossy, layered with dried thyme, onion powder, and a rich beef broth base that reduces into something velvety enough to coat the back of a spoon. Butter adds a silky finish while the beef juices meld right back into the pot, deepening the whole dish with savory, slow-cooked flavor. A scatter of fresh parsley brightens every spoonful right before serving. Ladled generously over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes, this is pure comfort-food territory, and it's a solid pick for a gluten free dinner rotation.

1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp unsalted butter
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
Chef's tip
Choose a gluten-free baking blend labeled 1:1 or cup-for-cup and use the same amount. Almond and coconut flour won't work the same way.
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
1 cup water
2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp onion powder
8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced (optional)

For serving

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Pat the beef cubes dry with paper towels and season all over with the salt and black pepper.
2
Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in two batches to avoid crowding, add the beef in a single layer and sear undisturbed for 3–4 minutes per side, until deeply browned on at least two sides. Transfer the seared beef to a plate and set aside.
