TIPS FOR PREPAREING LOW SODIUM BEEF TIPS AND GRAVY

If Gravy Becomes Too Thick

If the gravy gets too thick while boiling, thin it down with a few additional tablespoons of beef broth. Using low-sodium beef broth is a win-win situation for us since the taste of the broth increases as it boils, preventing the final meal from becoming overly salty as it concentrates. I feel that 30 minutes is the perfect simmering time; however, this may vary depending on the size of your beef cubes.

Mushrooms and Wine

A little wine and a lot of mushrooms are used in this dish. They both contribute a lot of flavor to the gravy; the wine gives it a little bite, while the mushrooms give it a deeper umami flavor.

Sauce for browning

Browning sauce is my greatest trick for creating rich dark brown gravy. Browning sauce is a savory flavor concentration that can take your gravy to the next level with only a few drops. I recall my father using this in the past, but I’ve just lately found its use in enhancing the flavor of a meal. Furthermore, when compared to Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce, which are frequently used in gravies, it has a very low salt level. It comes highly recommended from me.

It’s best to use a cast iron skillet.

A cast iron pan is ideal for this dish because of its large surface area, which is ideal for sautéing. A hefty bottom and sides are also excellent for maintaining a consistent temperature during a lengthy simmer.

Instead of using a Ziploc bag, use Tupperware.

Place the beef tips in a big Tupperware container with the flour, pepper, and Mrs. Dash Table Blend spice and shake them to coat them before browning. To coat the meat, give it a good shake. To accomplish this, most recipes call for a Zip-lock bag. However, I despise wasting bags for this purpose, and the container is simple to clean and does not contribute to plastic trash. 

Various Meat and Mushroom Amounts

When I prepared this recipe, I used a 1 1/4 pound bag of stew beef and the same number of ingredients that the recipe called for, and it turned out perfectly. It also hardly alters the nutritional value per serving. It’s also OK if you want to add more or fewer mushrooms. Though I wouldn’t recommend skipping the mushrooms since they offer a lot of flavor to a low-sodium dish. Because I dislike the texture of mushrooms but like their taste, I just cut them into smaller pieces. It’s all up to you.

WHAT KIND OF MEAT IS BEST FOR BEEF TIPS?

To prepare my low sodium beef tips and gravy, I like to use chuck roast stew meat. They’re usually inexpensive, and they may be cooked to perfection just like any other beef. They’re usually packed in cubes, but I split them in half and trim away any extra fat. Because the gravy provides the bulk of the taste, I’ve never seen the need to buy a more costly cut of beef because they always simmer to a lovely soft “bite.” The main thing to keep in mind is that the longer it cooks, the more delicate it gets.

Course Description:

American cuisine

4 servings

calorie count: 388 kcal

• 3 tablespoons butter, unsalted
• sliced white mushrooms, 1/2 pound (8 ounces)
• 1/2 cup onion, chopped
• 2 tbsp pre-minced garlic
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 pound chuck roast, sliced into bite-size pieces
• 2 tablespoons flour
• a quarter teaspoon of freshly ground pepper
• 1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash Table Blend

To make the gravy

• 1/3 cup red wine, dry Merlot
• 2 cups beef broth (no salt added)
• 2 tsp Herb Ox beef bouillon granules (no sodium)
• 1/4 cup Wondra or normal flour I like Wondra since it’s simple to combine and shake off.
• To taste, a few drops of browning sauce
• season with pepper to taste

• In a large pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. When the butter has melted, add the mushrooms and simmer until they are browned, about 8 minutes. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the onions have softened and the mushrooms have become golden brown. Reduce the heat to low and sauté the garlic for 30 seconds. Transfer the contents from the pan to a mixing bowl.

• Add flour, steak bits, and Mrs. Dash Table to a big Tupperware container with a cover. Blend and season with salt and pepper. To coat, shake well. In a pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the steak and fry until it is browned. Remove the previous waiting dish from the scene.

• Deglaze the skillet with red wine, scraping up the brown pieces from the bottom.

• After that, add the beef broth and the Herb-ox beef flavoring. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

• In a skillet with the beef broth mixture, whisk Wondra or sift flour. Cook for 2 minutes, or until slightly thickened. To taste, add a few drops of browning sauce at a time.

• Return the mushroom mixture and the beef to the pan and cook for at least 15 to 20 minutes, or until the meat is cooked.

• Mrs. Dash Table Blend & pepper to taste.

• Serve with egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes as a side dish.
