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

Directions

Step 1

Heat the coconut oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste and mix with the vegetables until well integrated.

Step 6

Return the seared beef tips to the pot, then pour in the beef broth and balsamic vinegar.

Step 7

Add in the fresh thyme and rosemary, stirring to combine all ingredients. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot powder with the water to create a slurry.

Step 10

Remove the lid, stir the slurry into the pot, and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes to thicken the sauce.

Step 11

Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve the Paleo Braised Beef Tips hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
