Beef and Gravy is a classic comfort dish made with tender chunks of beef simmered in a rich, savory gravy. It’s the perfect hearty meal to serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles, ideal for weeknight dinners or cozy weekends.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs stew beef or chuck roast, cut into chunks
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 yellow onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups beef broth or stock
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1–2 tbsp all-purpose flour or cornstarch (for thickening)
  • Optional: 2 sprigs fresh thyme or rosemary

Instructions

  1. Season beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and brown the beef on all sides. Work in batches if needed.
  3. Remove beef and set aside. In the same pan, sauté onions and garlic until softened.
  4. Return beef to the pan, pour in broth and Worcestershire sauce. Add herbs if using.
  5. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook on low for 1.5–2 hours until beef is tender.
  6. Mix flour or cornstarch with water to form a slurry, stir into simmering liquid to thicken the gravy.
  7. Adjust seasoning and serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.

Notes

  • Stir in heavy cream or sour cream for a creamy twist.
  • Can be made in a slow cooker after browning the beef.
