Ingredients
- Ā¼ cup butter salted
- 1 onion finely diced, small, white or yellow
- 3 to 4 cloves garlic finely minced
- 2 pounds beef chuck roast cubed into bite-sized pieces or thinly sliced, or stew meat
- 1 Ā½ cups mushroom sliced thin (I use a combo of baby 1/2 Portobello and white button mushrooms)* See Notes, fresh
- Ā½ cup Pepperoncini peppers optional but recommended
- 4 cups beef broth I use reduced sodium** See Notes
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon thyme dried
- 2 bay leaf
- Ā¼ cup water cold
- Ā¼ cup corn starch
Instructions
- Turn a 6-quart Instant Pot or similar pressure cooker appliance to saute and melt the butter.*** (See Notes)
- Add the onions and saute for about 3 minutes; stir frequently.
- Add the garlic and saute for about 1 minute, or until fragrant; stir constantly.
- Add the beef and brown all sides of the meat, stirring and flipping as necessary to sear it properly.
- Add all remaining ingredients (minus the water and corn starch), cover with the lid and seal it, and set the Instant Pot to High and cook for 30 minutes.
- When the time has finished, do a quick release, using caution since the steam that escapes can burn you.
- Turn the Instant Pot back onto saute mode; set aside.
- In a small bowl, add the cold water, corn starch, and stir until dissolved.
- Slowly and while whisking, add your corn starch slurry to the beef and gravy inside the pot. Continue whisking until it thickens; which shouldn't take more than a couple minutes.
- Turn off the machine and serve the beef tips and gravy*** (See Notes) over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles. Extra beef tips and gravy will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months.

Notes
- *Mushrooms: Mushrooms add aĀ hearty, earthy flavorĀ to the gravy which drenches every bite of tender meat. I recommend a combination of white button mushrooms combined with baby Portobello mushrooms.Ā
- However, if you are a mushroom hater,Ā you can omit them. Take Note:Ā If you do omit the mushrooms, the gravy wonāt have as much body andĀ thickness.Ā Nor will the overall dish be asĀ flavorful.Ā
- **Beef broth: This recipes makes a lot of gravy and my family adores it especially when they can sop it up with a mound of mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice. However, if you don't want quite as much, you can scale back the amount of beef broth from 4 cups to 3 cups.Ā
- If you want thicker gravy, after you add the corn starch slurry, keep on whisking for additional time. The longer you whisk, the thicker it gets.
- Also, gravy thickens up when it's not piping hot so while it may look a little thin in the Instant Pot, as it cools, it'll thicken up.
- ***If you don't own an Instant Pot:
- You can make beef tipsĀ withoutĀ anĀ Instant Pot. I have a great recipe forĀ Teriyaki Steak TipsĀ that I make in a skillet on theĀ stovetop.Ā If you want to make beef tips without an Instant Pot, I suggestĀ following the overall outline of the recipe for the Teriyaki Beef Tips. In place of the teriyaki sauce, use the spices and seasonings called for in this version, cut back the beef broth, and add the corn starch and water slurry at the end.Ā
- Of course, youāll have to experiment and thereāll be a bit of trial and error.Ā
- Tips:Ā Do not use stew meat or chuck roastĀ because they wonāt get tender enough in a fast-cooking skillet recipe. Instead, IĀ recommendĀ sirloinĀ or other more tender cuts of meat such asĀ flank, ribeye, or tenderloinĀ based on your preferences.
