Southern-Style Beef Tips and Gravy

Ingredients
3-4 lb Beef Boneless Sirloin Tip Roast (cubed)
1 onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1-2 celery stalks, diced
4 cloves of garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons of flour
2 tablespoons of butter
2 tbs of Worcestershire
1 package of Lipton Onion Soup
4 cups of beef broth
2 tbs of corn starch
Garlic Powder, to taste
Adobo Seasoning with Complete, to taste
Italian Seasoning, to taste
Onion Powder, to taste
Complete Seasoning, to taste
Culture Creole Seasoning, to taste
¼ cup of Olive oil
Directions

1. Season the cubed beef with all of the dry seasonings.
2. On medium-high heat, add the olive oil to the pot.
3. Sear the beef tips in small batches, on both sides. Add more olive oil, if necessary.  Note: Do not overcrowd the pot, otherwise the beef will steam and not sear.
4. Remove the beef tips from the pot and set aside.
5. Add the diced raw seasonings (omit the garlic) and sauté until softened.
6. Add the butter and stir until melted.
7. Add the garlic and cook another minute or so.
8. Stir in the flour and stir another 3-4 minutes.
9. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce.
10. In a large measuring cup, combine the Lipton Onion Soup, beef broth and cornstarch.  Mix it well.
11. Add to the pot and stir well.
12. Add the beef tips back to the pot.
13. Cover and cook on medium heat for about 2.5 -3 hours. Check and stir periodically. The longer you cook it, the more tender the meat will become.
14. Serve it over rice or mashed potatoes.
