Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean beef sirloin tips
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Low-sodium beef broth
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 200 grams Button mushrooms, sliced
- 2 medium Carrots, diced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 unit Bay leaf
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
Instructions
Start by trimming any visible fat from the beef sirloin tips to ensure it's heart-healthy. Cut the beef into bite-sized pieces approximately 1-inch in size.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the beef tips in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Sear the beef on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the pan, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the sliced mushrooms, diced carrots, and diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
Return the beef tips to the pan, ensuring they are evenly mixed with the vegetables.
Pour the low-sodium beef broth, soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar over the beef and vegetable mixture. Add the chopped rosemary, thyme, oregano, black pepper, and the bay leaf.
Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and let the mixture simmer gently for about 45 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together.
Remove the bay leaf before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve the heart-healthy savory beef tips warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
