ButcherBox Meats

If you haven’t tried out ButcherBox, now is the time.

No matter when you join they always have a special going on. Right now it’s a free protein for a year! What!

They are committed to premium meat: 100% grass-fed beef, free-range organic chicken, pork raised crate-free, and wild-caught seafood. Bonus, it’s delivered right to your door. I don’t know about you but our local grocery store doesn’t always have the quality of meat that we want in our home.

The first time I made this recipe, I used the sirloin beef tips from ButcherBox and it was amazing!

Some other cuts of meat that work well in this recipe are stew meat, cut-up top sirloin steaks, or sirloin roast.

Our favorite and in our opinion the most tender cut of meat is beef tenderloin (filet mignon) but the only way I would use that in this recipe is if it’s left over.

Onions and Rich Gravy Recipe

“Handy” is a meat and potatoes guy and he typically doesn’t like his food to touch but this he enjoyed because it has onions and a rich brown gravy.

The last time I made it we served it over mashed potatoes but tonight we are having it over egg noodles.

Cook Low and Slow

This isn’t a 30-minute meal recipe and one that I save for a Saturday or Sunday meal.

There are minimal ingredients but the onions need to saute for about 20 minutes or more until they caramelize.

Once you assemble everything in a Dutch oven or large skillet then it simmers for 2 hours. The long, slow cooking is what guarantees maximum tenderness.

What’s In My Kitchen

Other Ingredients

Tonight I am using the left-over meat from the prime rib roast that we had for Easter. I cut it into 1-inch bite-size pieces to add to the recipe.

In my recipe, I use Worcestershire sauce but you can substitute that for soy sauce or coconut aminos.

If you wanted to add garlic to this recipe, you absolutely could. Once your onions are caramelized, you can add minced garlic and let it cook for 1-2 minutes before you add the beef broth or beef stock.

Another great option that I would love is to add mushrooms but “Handy” not so much.

You could also add some sour cream at the end to make it more like a stroganoff (one of my favorites).

Adding some red wine to this recipe would give it more of a beef bourguignon flavor. Another one of my favorites.

There is nothing stopping you from adding potatoes, carrots, and/or green peas for the last hour of cooking and turning this into an onion stew.

Caramelizing Onions

The key to caramelizing onions is to add a little salt when you first start to sauté them. This helps them to sweat and soften faster. Once they are softened, add sugar to help them brown and caramelize perfectly. Don’t forget to stir continually or the onions will burn.

Cooking

I don’t own an air fryer or instant pot but I’m guessing this recipe could be adapted for both and might speed up the cooking process.

I do have a slow cooker and I imagine I could make the onions the night before and then add all the ingredients to a slow cooker in the morning and have a delicious meal ready at dinnertime

Left-overs

xIt’s meals like this that I don’t mind taking the time to make because there are always leftovers and I put them in air-tight containers and freeze them for an easy weeknight meal.

At this Small House, we call it freezer meal night!
