When I was a kid, my mom would roast a beef tenderloin or chuck roast every few months. It was always one of my favorite meals because the meat was so tender and flavorful. So when I found myself with an extra pound of beef tips this week and nothing to do with them, I thought back to those days as an idea popped into my head: why not make some beef tips? And that’s how this recipe came to be!
Place the meat in a large bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

- A good quality beef is key to making this recipe come out as tender and flavorful as possible, so be sure to purchase a cut of meat that’s made for braising–like beef tips or short ribs–and not one that you typically use on the grill or in stir-fries. If you’re unsure about what kind of cut to buy, ask your butcher for advice; he or she can steer you towards something perfect for this dish!
In a small bowl, combine the dry rub ingredients.
In a small bowl, combine the dry rub ingredients. Mix well and set aside.
In a large bowl or pan that can be used for baking, add the beef tips and coat them with olive oil, salt and pepper on all sides. Add half of your dry rub mixture on top of each piece of meat and press down gently so it sticks to them (this is called “dry brining”). Cover with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 1 hour up to overnight.*
Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking time so meat can come up closer to room temperature as this will allow for more even cooking throughout instead of having some parts overcook while others are still rarer than desired due to uneven heating inside ovens etc…
Pour the oil into a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil begins to sizzle, add the steak tips to the pan and brown on all sides, turning once. Transfer to a plate. Reduce heat to medium-low and add onion, garlic, and mushrooms to the pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until soft, about 5 minutes.

Return steak tips to skillet along with wine and broth (or water). Cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until beef is tender and cooked through. Stir in parsley before serving over rice or noodles! I hope y’all enjoy this recipe as much as I did!
