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)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the beef tips dry with paper towels and season them with salt, pepper, and paprika on all sides.

Step 2

In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Sear the beef tips in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan, until all sides are browned. Remove the beef tips and set aside.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Gradually whisk in the beef broth, ensuring no lumps form, followed by worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and tomato paste. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Return the seared beef tips to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid. Add the dried thyme and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Once the beef tips are done, taste the gravy and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 12

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.
