For the Beef

  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Use ghee for a lactose-free option.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by mixing dried thyme, kosher salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Generously season the boneless beef chuck roast chunks and set aside for 10 minutes.
  2. In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, warm vegetable oil. Sear the seasoned beef chunks in batches for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, melt unsalted butter over medium heat. Add yellow onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle all-purpose flour over the onion and garlic mixture. Cook for about 1 minute until lightly browned to create a roux.
  5. Gradually whisk in beef broth, followed by soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a gentle boil for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Return the seared beef tips to the pot, cover, and let simmer on low for about 1 hour.
  7. Uncover and simmer for an additional 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally until the beef is fork-tender and the gravy has thickened.
  8. Transfer the beef tips to a serving dish, spoon gravy over the top, and garnish with parsley. Serve over mashed potatoes, polenta, or noodles.
