Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef tips
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 3 celery stalks, sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Heat the coconut oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat.
Season the beef tips with salt and black pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the beef tips in batches to sear on all sides until browned, about 5 minutes per batch. Remove the beef tips and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and sliced celery. Sauté the vegetables for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste and mix with the vegetables until well integrated.
Return the seared beef tips to the pot, then pour in the beef broth and balsamic vinegar.
Add in the fresh thyme and rosemary, stirring to combine all ingredients. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and allow the beef to braise gently for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef tips are fork-tender.
In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot powder with the water to create a slurry.
Remove the lid, stir the slurry into the pot, and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes to thicken the sauce.
Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve the Paleo Braised Beef Tips hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
