Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 slices bacon cut into smaller pieces
- 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
- 3/4 cup of red wine
- 2 cups unsalted beef stock
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 thyme sprigs
- Fresh parsley for garnish
- Hot cooked rice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Add bacon to a large pot or dutch oven over medium high heat, cook until crisp, remove from pan, drain and set aside. Add 1 tbsp olive oil to the pan with bacon drippings. Season the beef with salt and pepper, add to a hot pot and sear in batches until browned all over. Once beef is finished searing, remove from the pot, drain on paper towels, and place to the side.
- Next add chopped onion, stirring until soft, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add garlic and only cook for 30 seconds.
- Sprinkle in flour and stir together and cook for about 2 minutes
- Add the red wine to deglaze the pan scraping up all the little browned bits.
- Pour in the beef stock, and soy sauce then stir and whisk until everything is smooth. Add back in bacon if you would like for the additional flavor.
- Add thyme sprigs then bring the braising liquid to a boil.
- Once boiling, return beef tips to liquid, cover with top and place in the oven for 1 1/2 - 2 hours or until beef tips are completely tender (easily separated with a fork) and the liquid has thickened into a gravy.
- Serve with hot rice and enjoy.
Notes
How to Store
- Fridge: Let the beef tips cool, then transfer to an airtight container. Make sure the gravy covers the meat. Store in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
- Freezer: Spoon the cooled beef tips and gravy into a freezer-safe container, leaving some space at the top for expansion. Freeze for up to 2-3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
- Reheating: Warm the beef tips and gravy in a skillet or saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring every now and then until heated through. If the gravy thickens up too much, add a small splash of beef broth or water to loosen it up.
