Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef tips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 3 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 cups long-grain white rice, uncooked
- 4 cups water (for cooking rice)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Pat the beef tips dry with paper towels and season them with salt, pepper, and paprika on all sides.
In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Sear the beef tips in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan, until all sides are browned. Remove the beef tips and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the skillet and melt. Stir in the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly, to form a roux. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the beef broth, ensuring no lumps form, followed by worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and tomato paste. Stir to combine.
Return the seared beef tips to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid. Add the dried thyme and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Simmer gently for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
While the beef is braising, prepare the rice. In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Stir in the rice, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and reduce heat to low. Cook for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and keep warm.
Once the beef tips are done, taste the gravy and adjust seasoning as needed.
To serve, spoon a generous portion of rice onto each plate and top with the braised beef tips and gravy. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
