Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef tips
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion, diced
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cups Beef broth
- 1.5 cups Barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Hot sauce (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Start by patting the beef tips dry with a paper towel. This will help them brown better.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Sprinkle this seasoning blend evenly over the beef tips.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the beef tips in batches (avoiding overcrowding the pan) and sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the diced onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened, then add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Deglaze the pan by pouring in the beef broth, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Stir in the barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce (if using). Mix well to combine.
Return the seared beef tips to the skillet, making sure they are fully submerged in the sauce. Cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low.
Simmer the beef tips for 2 to 2.5 hours, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it out with a splash of beef broth.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot. Southern Barbecued Beef Tips pair beautifully with mashed potatoes, rice, or cornbread.
