Preparation

Cooking
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef in a single layer, browning on all sides for about 3-4 minutes, then remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
- Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine and scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Return the beef to the skillet, ensuring it’s covered in the broth. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, and cover. Cook for about 20 minutes.
- If desired, stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes.
Notes
For added flavor, you can marinate the beef in Worcestershire sauce and garlic beforehand. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the fridge, or freeze for up to three months.
