Ingredients
For the Beef Tips
- 1½ lbs beef sirloin or stew meat, cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
For the Keto Gravy
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth (low-sodium)
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (sugar-free)
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum (for thickening)
Why these ingredients work:
Tender cuts of beef provide rich protein, while heavy cream and butter create a silky gravy without flour. Xanthan gum thickens perfectly while keeping carbs low.
Ingredient Notes
- Beef: Sirloin stays tender, but chuck or stew meat works well too.
- Beef Broth: Choose sugar-free and low sodium for best keto results.
- Xanthan Gum: A little goes a long way — add slowly to avoid clumps.
- Worcestershire Sauce: Adds depth and umami without overpowering.
Step-by-Step Instructions

Pat beef dry and season generously with salt and pepper. - Sear until golden.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef and sear until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside. - Build the flavor.
Lower heat and melt butter. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. - Create the gravy base.
Pour in beef broth, scraping up browned bits from the pan. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and onion powder. - Make it creamy.
Slowly whisk in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. - Thicken the gravy.
Sprinkle xanthan gum while whisking continuously until gravy thickens and turns silky. - Finish the dish.
Return beef to the pan and simmer for 10–15 minutes until tender and coated in rich gravy.
Pro Tips & Variations
For extra flavor, add sliced mushrooms or caramelized onions to the gravy. Want a slow-cooker version? Sear the beef first, then cook everything on low for 6–7 hours. For added richness, finish with a splash of cream right before serving. Leftovers taste even better the next day, making this dish ideal for meal prep. Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
