  • Total Time: 1 hour 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Beef Tips

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 pounds lean stew beef or beef tips
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Sauce

  • 3/4 cup red wine
  • 2 cups unsalted beef stock
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 thyme sprigs

To Serve

  • Fresh parsley for garnish
  • Hot cooked rice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef Tips: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the beef tips with salt and pepper, then brown them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Remove the beef and set aside.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add Flour: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the onions and garlic. Stir well to coat and cook the flour for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw taste.
  4. Deglaze with Wine: Slowly pour in the red wine while stirring, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the wine simmer and reduce slightly for about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Add Stock and Seasonings: Pour in the unsalted beef stock and soy sauce. Add the thyme sprigs. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  6. Simmer the Beef: Return the browned beef tips to the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let everything simmer gently for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove the thyme sprigs. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve the beef tips over hot cooked rice and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Use lean stew beef or beef tips to ensure tenderness without excessive fat.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix a little cornstarch with water and stir it in during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  • Red wine can be substituted with grape juice or additional beef stock for a non-alcoholic version.
  • Make sure to brown the beef properly for maximum flavor.
  • Serve with steamed vegetables or a side salad for a balanced meal.
