Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp Kitchen Bouquet (optional, for color and flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the beef cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Ensure the beef is evenly coated.
- Place the beef tips in the air fryer basket in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd. You may need to cook in batches.
- Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until the beef tips are cooked to your desired doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F (54-57°C).
- While the beef is cooking, prepare the gravy. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the beef broth, making sure to break up any lumps.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and Kitchen Bouquet (if using).
- Bring the gravy to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until it has thickened to your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the beef tips are cooked, add them to the gravy and stir to coat.
- Serve immediately over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
Notes
- For best results, use high-quality sirloin or tenderloin beef.
- If you don’t have Kitchen Bouquet, you can substitute a teaspoon of soy sauce or a dash of balsamic vinegar for added depth of flavor.
- Adjust cooking time in the air fryer depending on your desired level of doneness.
- If the gravy becomes too thick, add a little more beef broth to thin it out.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
