How to Make Beef Tips And Caramelized Onion Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season beef cubes with salt and pepper.
  3. Brown beef in batches for 3-4 minutes per side, then remove and set aside.
  4. In the same Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, for 15-20 minutes until softened.
  5. Increase heat to medium-high and cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until onions are deeply caramelized.
  6. Stir in minced garlic and flour; cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  7. Return beef to the pot. Add beef consommé, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, and thyme.
  8. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  9. Stir in heavy cream and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.
  10. Remove bay leaves.
  11. Lightly grease a 13x9-inch baking dish.
  12. Transfer beef mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  13. Arrange toasted French bread slices evenly over the top.
  14. Sprinkle generously with Gruyère cheese.
  15. Broil 5 inches from the heat for 3-4 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  16. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs, if desired.
  17. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
