- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 50-55 minutes
- Total Time: 60-65 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings 1x
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 1 pound beef sirloin tips, cubed
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly.
- Pierce each potato several times with a fork.
- Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for about 50-55 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- While the potatoes are baking, heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the beef tips and cook until they are browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove them from the skillet and set them aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until they become translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly to create a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, allowing the mixture to thicken.
- Return the beef tips to the skillet and simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the baked potatoes are done, remove them from the oven.
- Slice each potato open and fluff the insides with a fork.
- Pour a generous amount of beef tips and gravy over each potato.
- Top with shredded cheddar cheese and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Be sure to select potatoes of uniform size for even cooking. If you want to speed up the baking process, feel free to use your microwave instead of the oven. Simply pierce it with a fork and microwave on high for 5 minutes, flip it over, then microwave it for another 5 minutes. When making the gravy, take your time to whisk in the beef broth gradually, ensuring a smooth consistency. If your gravy ends up lumpy, you can strain it before recombining it with the beef tips. While shredded cheddar cheese is the classic topping for baked potatoes, feel free to personalize it with your favorite toppings like sour cream, chives, or crispy bacon bits. Enjoy!
