Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef tips
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 - garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup red wine
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 - bay leaf
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the beef tips with salt and black pepper. Toss with flour to coat evenly.
In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat olive oil and unsalted butter over medium-high heat.
Brown the beef tips in batches, without overcrowding the pan, until all sides are well-seared. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly translucent.
Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the beef broth, red wine, tomato paste, dried thyme, and bay leaf, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Return the beef tips to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover the pot with a lid. Reduce the heat to low and allow the beef tips to cook for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender.
Check occasionally and stir to prevent sticking. Add a bit more broth or water if the sauce reduces too quickly.
Once cooked, discard the bay leaf and stir in the fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the braised beef tips with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
