Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ pounds beef tips, sirloin or stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes

- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
- Sear the Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the beef tips, and sear until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- Cook the Onions and Garlic: In the same pot, add chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
