Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef tips
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, chopped
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 medium Carrots, sliced
• 2 stalks Celery stalks, sliced
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 1 leaf Bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the beef tips. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Season the beef tips with salt and black pepper. Add the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, browning them on all sides. Remove the browned beef tips and set them aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the Dutch oven.

Step 5

Add chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften and the onion becomes translucent.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 7

Pour in the beef broth and coconut aminos, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

Step 8

Return the browned beef tips to the Dutch oven, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid.

Step 9

Add the thyme sprigs and bay leaf to the pot.

Step 10

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for about 2 to 2.5 hours or until the beef is tender.

Step 11

Stir occasionally and check the liquid levels, adding more broth if necessary to keep the beef partly submerged.

Step 12

Discard thyme sprigs and the bay leaf before serving.

Step 13

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm with your choice of Whole30-approved sides.
