In skillet, sauté onion over medium heat until translucent. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the garlic. Remove onions and garlic from skillet and set aside.
Place mushrooms in a single layer in skillet and cook for 5 minutes over medium heat until light brown. Turn mushrooms and cook for 5 more minutes on remaining side. Use a cover, if needed, to keep mushrooms from sticking. Remove mushrooms from skillet and set aside.
Pour wine into skillet and simmer over medium-high heat for 5 minutes to evaporate the alcohol. Add 'beef' tips and simmer, stirring occasionally, over medium heat for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix the remaining ingredients, except rice, and whisk until the flour lumps are dissolved. Increase the heat to medium-high and add onions, garlic, mushrooms and gravy mixture to the beef and wine sauce. Continue to cook until the gravy thickens, stirring constantly.
Serve beefless tips and gravy over cooked brown rice.
Store beefless tips and gravy in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat gently over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Brown rice keeps separately for up to 4 days refrigerated.
Red cooking wine is specified for this recipe. Dry red wines like Cabernet or Merlot work as substitutes, but avoid sweet or fortified wines as they'll alter the gravy flavor.
Cook the gravy mixture while stirring constantly over medium-high heat until it visibly thickens and coats the beef and mushrooms. It should reach a sauce consistency, not runny.
Yes. Prepare the beefless tips and gravy up to 2 days ahead, store in an airtight container, and reheat gently over medium heat. Cook brown rice fresh or reheat separately.
Brands with firmer texture (like Beyond or Field Roast) hold up better to simmering than softer varieties. Choose tips designed to stay intact when cooked, not crumbled versions.
Browning mushrooms on both sides (5 minutes per side) develops deeper flavor through caramelization. Cooking them separately prevents steaming and ensures better texture in the final dish.
