Stovetop Beef Tips N Gravy

This is a spin-off of my Crockpot Beef Tips & Gravy.  It's got more of a spicy kick to it, and the meat is super tender with TONS of flavor!  Here's how you make it:

 
First, get your ingredients together:
• 800g lean beef (I used a london broil cut - it comes in one big piece, and I just cut it into chunks)
• 1 packet A1 original marinade mix
• 13.7 oz. reduced sodium beef broth
• 2 packets brown gravy mix
 
 
 
Next, dump the marinade mix, beef broth, and chunks of meat into a ziplock bag.  Zip it up, and toss the meat around so that it's all mixed up and coated well.  Put it in the fridge and let it marinate overnight.
 
 
 
When you are ready to cook it the next day, get out a big pot and turn it on to medium-high heat.  Once it's hot, put the meat into the bottom and let it sear a little bit.  Once it's all brown on the outside, dump in the liquid from the bag.  Add in both packets of brown gravy mix, and about 1/2 cup of water.  Mix it all around so that all the lumps disappear.  Make sure all the meat is under the liquid (you don't want it to dry out), put the lid on, and turn heat down to low.  Let it cook for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent any sticking...

 
 
 
 
...and that's it!  :)  Super simple and yummy!  My hubs loved it, he said it reminded him of his Uncle Sherm's Sauce Piquante (or as he says with a french accent - sauce peecawh) - he's from Louisiana and loves some spicy cajun tastin stuff yall!  Next time you see him, ask him how he says "filet mignon" :)
 
 
 
Anyway, here's the nutritional info per serving (makes 6 servings of about 3.5 oz each + gravy):
