A hearty and flavorful dish featuring tender beef tips in a rich mushroom gravy, perfect for a comforting meal.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Ensure the oil is hot enough to sear the beef properly, which helps lock in the juices.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, seasoning salt, red pepper flakes, onion powder, and parsley flakes.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed in the flour.
Add the beef tips to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the flour mixture.
Shake off any excess flour to prevent clumping during cooking.
Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can turn bitter.
Add the coated beef tips to the Dutch oven and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 7-10 minutes.
Browning the beef enhances the flavor of the dish.
Add the sliced onion, green pepper, and mushrooms to the pot, stirring to combine.
Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.
Pour in the beef broth and water, stirring to deglaze the pot and incorporate all ingredients.
Scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits for added flavor.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Serve the beef tips and gravy over your choice of rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
