Start by adding black pepper, salt, and total seasoning to the pan.

Heat oil in the pan until hot, then add beef tips in batches to brown them.

Brown the beef on all sides, then remove from the pan and set aside.

Make beef broth by mixing 1.5 tablespoons of beef bullion powder with 2 cups of water until dissolved.

Add diced purple onions (about 1/2 cup) to the pan and caramelize them.

Add the browned beef back to the pan along with its juices.

Sprinkle around 3 tablespoons of flour over the beef and mix well, cooking for 3-4 minutes to remove the flour taste.

Pour in the homemade beef broth and 1 cup of homemade tomato sauce, mixing well.

Season with 1 tablespoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of onion powder.

Cover and let simmer on medium-low heat for about 1 hour.

Chop 2 cups of potatoes, 1 cup of carrots, and 2 tablespoons of celery while the beef simmers.

After 1 hour, check if the beef is tender, then add the chopped vegetables and 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce.

Mix the vegetables into the stew and cover again, letting it cook for another 45 minutes to 1 hour until the vegetables are tender.

Serve the beef stew in a bowl.
