Bettys Best Beef Tips Ever Recipes

BEEF TIPS AND GRAVY

Steps:

• Combine beef seasoning mix and measure out gravy ingredients before beginning.
• Cut meat into 1-inch cubes, discard any large pieces of fat.
• Combine beef seasoning and sprinkle it over the meat. Toss to coat. Sprinkle flour over the meat and toss again.
• Heat 3 Tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meat in batches, don't overcrowd the pan. Brown on each side for 45 seconds. Add a splash of more oil if needed. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining beef. *Don't cook the beef all the way through. You want it to cook in the gravy to add more flavor.
• Add ¼ cup wine and use a silicone spatula to "clean" (deglaze) the bottom of the pan, removing any brown remnants. The brown specks are called "fond" and will give the sauce lots of good flavor.
• Let the wine gently bubble and reduce by half. Reduce heat to medium and add 2 TBS butter and the onions. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
• Add all remaining gravy ingredients except the cornstarch mixture and remaining cold butter. Bring to a boil.
• Combine the corn starch and cold water. Whisk into the sauce, a little at a time. Stir continuously. Continue until your desired consistency is obtained.
• Reduce heat to medium and add the beef along with the juices from the plate. Cook with the lid partially covered for 10-15 minutes, until beef is cooked through. Remove from heat.
• Optional: Swirl in 1 Tablespoon of COLD butter at the end, this is called "Monter au Beurre" and it adds a smooth, velvety finish to sauces and gravies.
• Serve with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or over rice!

BETTY'S BEST BEEF TIPS EVER

Steps:

• 1. Prepare meat by slicing it very thin so it will be tender. Slice onion and bell pepper. In a skillet add a small amount of vegetable oil and add meat. Let sear until no longer pink, about 10 minutes or so on medium heat. Add onions and peppers and cook until tender. When done remove from skillet. Add flour to left over oil in skillet and brown to make gravy. You may need to add a little more oil. After flour is browned, add beef broth or water to make brown gravy as you usually would. (If you dont know how to make brown gravy, you can use about 3 packages of brown gravy mix).
• 2. When homemade brown gravy is finished, I add 2 packages of brown gravy mix to it just to add a little richer flavor. Stir gravy together and add broth as needed. (not to much broth, you want gravy to be kinda thick. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Then add meat,peppers and onions to gravy and stir. Let simmer about 10 minutes on low heat covered. Serve over rice, potatoes or noodles.
• 3. You can use any leftover meat in this recipe too. Pot roast, sirloin steak, round steak etc.
