Tender Beef Tips in Rich Gravy
  1. 1

    Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until nearly translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the stew meat and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides; about 3 to 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Pour 2 cups water, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce into the skillet. Stir in the garlic powder, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer until the meat is tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

  3. 3

    When the meat is nearly done, whisk the remaining 1 cup water with the gravy mix until fully blended; stir it into the meat mixture and return to a boil. Cook, stirring often, until slightly thickened.
