Throw that canned beef stew away and try these slow cooked beef tips. Wouldn’t you want a fresh pot of these tender and delicious chunks of beef. I wanted to keep this meal light so I paired it with some guacamole and chic pea rice. It was amazing y’all.

Helpful Tips

Allow your tips to brown. This gives the beef a nice finished look. The brown bits at the bottom of the pot add flavor to the juice.

This is optional but I pour the juices on top of the meat throughout the cooking process. This helps keep the meat juicy.
