Simple Beef Tips Over Rice

Why have we never in our adult life made this?!

We raided our freezer in search of what to make for dinner tonight and we found, buried in the back behind the frozen french fries (quarantine food, okay?), some beef tips we bought a month ago when this whole thing began. We had big plans to make beef stew with them, but PJ got the idea to make beef tips over rice instead- a dish he hated when he was younger but now loves, thankfully. It was so good, y’all.

We did a quick Google search and found this recipe from Food.com that we followed and then added a few things to it ourselves. It was quick, easy, we had everything we needed in our pantry (love when that happens), and the kiddos came back for thirds (love when that happens even more).

Here’s what you’re going to need…

Ingredients:

• 3 lbs  sirloin tip steaks, cut into 1-inch cubes (we used 1 lb of beef tips)

• 1⁄2 teaspoon  black pepper

• 1⁄3 cup  water

• 3 tablespoons  all-purpose flour

5. In a bowl, toss together beef tips and 1/3 cup flour.

7. Place beef tips in Dutch oven and brown on all sides and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring regularly.

8. During this time, add the red wine and sauté

9. Add veggies back to the Dutch oven. 

10. Add 4 cups water, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, seasoned salt and pepper, rosemary, stirring well.

11. Bring to a boil.
