Chux Beef Tips
Description
Ordinary beef stew meat (less expensive than beef tips) is slow-cooked in a robust red wine sauce with plenty of black pepper for tender meat and savory gravy. Serve over egg noodles.
Ingredients
•
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
•
1 onion, chopped
•
2 pounds cubed beef stew meat
•
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
•
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
•
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
•
2 cups water
•
1 cup dry red wine (such as Carlo Rossi Paisano®)
•
1/4 cup soy sauce
•
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
•
1 (3/4 ounce) package dry brown gravy mix
•
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Directions
1
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat; cook and stir onion in hot oil until browned, about 15 minutes. Add beef, garlic, ground black pepper, and cracked pepper to the hot oil; cook until stew meat is browned and garlic is golden, about 10 more minutes.
2
Pour water, red wine, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce into a slow cooker and stir brown gravy mix and kosher salt into wine mixture until gravy mix dissolves; add beef mixture to slow cooker and stir to combine. Cook on High until mixture nearly comes to a boil, about 1 hour; reduce heat to Low and cook until beef is tender and sauce has thickened, 1 more hour.
