Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 pounds boneless beef, cut into bite-sized pieces Boneless chuck roast is ideal for this recipe.
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 packet gravy mix, your choice of flavor
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil For searing the beef.
Optional garnish
  • to taste fresh herbs For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the beef pieces with salt and pepper.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned beef and sear until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the chopped onions to the skillet and sauté until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine all the flavors.
  4. Sprinkle the gravy mix over the beef and broth. Stir well and allow it to cook for about 30 minutes for the gravy to thicken.
  5. Once the beef is tender and the gravy is rich, serve it warm over mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite accompaniments.

Notes

For thicker gravy, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with two tablespoons of cold water and add it to the skillet toward the end of cooking. For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of soy sauce or garlic powder.
