Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds cubed stew meat
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Creole seasoning (optional)
4 tablespoons butter
1½ cups onion, minced
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
2 teaspoons fresh thyme, minced
½ cup white wine
2-3 cups beef broth
1 teaspoon bouillon powder
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup water
salt and black pepper to taste
Cooked rice (about ½ a cup per serving)

Instructions

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
Season the stew meat with salt, pepper, and Creole seasoning (if using).
Add stew meat and sear until browned on all sides, about 2 minutes per side.
Add the onion and cook until softened, 7-8 minutes, then add garlic and thyme and cook for another minute.
Deglaze with white wine and let it cook down for about a minute.
Add the beef broth, bouillon powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 30-40 minutes or until the meat is tender.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and water.
Add the flour mixture to the pot and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes.
Adjust the consistency with water or broth and adjust the seasoning to taste.
Serve over cooked rice and enjoy.

Notes

Make sure you get a good sear on your beef tips to seal in the juices and flavor.
Use tougher but more flavorful beef. Follow the recipe, but simmer it for 2-3 hours. That's so the connective tissue breaks down for an awesome melt-in-your-mouth stew.
If you need a gluten-free version, make a cornstarch slurry instead. Mix two tablespoons of cornstarch into 4 tablespoons of cold water and add it to your gravy instead of the flour.
