What are Beef Tips? Beef tips are small, tender pieces of beef that are typically used in stews, soups, and other slow-cooked dishes. They can be made from a variety of cuts of beef, but the most common are sirloin tip and round tip. My beef tips recipe is a tasty comfort food recipe that is great for a cold winter weeknight. This is a great recipe for slow cooked beef that is tender and full of flavor. These beef tips go great with mashed potatoes, dirty rice and collard greens just to name a few. In this blog I will share this delicious recipe.

Step 1: Brown The Beef Tips
The key to bring out the flavor from the beef is all in the browning. That’s why using a Dutch Oven for this recipe is a great choice. A Dutch oven is a good choice for browning beef because of it’s heavy bottom and thick walls. The heavy bottom is good for distributing the heat while the thick wall help to retain the heat.

Using medium heat bring a Dutch oven to temperature then add the oil. Brown your beef. Remove the beef from the oven and set it aside.
Step 2: Saute The Vegetables


Sauté the onions for 4 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to sauté for another 3 minutes. Add the mushroom and cook for 2 minute.
Step 3: Simmering The Beef Tips



Return the beef to the oven then season with the salt and black pepper.Add the beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and bay leaves then bring to a boil.



Reduce heat to medium low, cover and cook for 1 hour 40 minutes. After an hour and 40 minutes. Mix together the cornstarch and water then then add it to the beef. Add the browning and continue to cook until your gravy has thickened then it is ready to serve.
