Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Beef tips
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 cups Beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tsp Thyme, dried
- 1 Bay leaf
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Water (for cornstarch slurry)
- 2 cups Long-grain white rice
- 4 cups Water (for rice)
Instructions
Season the beef tips with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Brown the beef tips on all sides in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture. Stir and cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Gradually add the beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Stir in Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, thyme, and add the bay leaf.
Return the browned beef tips to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender.
While the beef is braising, prepare the rice. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
Once the beef is tender, remove the bay leaf. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water to make a slurry.
Stir the cornstarch slurry into the beef mixture. Increase the heat to medium and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Serve the braised beef tips over a bed of steamed rice. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
