Ingredients for Tender Beef Tips

Beef Tips – Beef tips are usually the tender parts of the tenderloin top. They can also be sirloin tips that come from larger roasts often sold as ‘stew meat’ or, in this case, ‘beef tips.’

Seasonings – This recipe is kept very simple with onion, bay leaf, Worcestershire. The slow roasting adds browning to the dish which adds extra flavor.

Gravy — This gravy is made by thickening a beef broth and onion soup mixture with a cornstarch mixture. You can also thicken this gravy using a flour-based roux.
