Sirloin Tips w/Mushrooms

For those of you that know me, you know the hubby and I (and Eli & Henry) are moving back to Atlanta! We are so excited, but it’s a stressful time. David is already working and living in Atlanta and comes home on weekends. When he comes home, I want to cook him some delicious meals. He eats Subway all week for dinner and that’s just not acceptable! I found some beef tips in the freezer and decided I needed to make something with them. I found this recipe on allrecipes.com. I’m going to tell you one change I would make up front. The liquid was a little thin and I would prefer it to be more of a gravy. The next time I make it, I will flour the meat prior to browning it so it will make a thicker sauce. Since it wasn’t thick this time, I whipped up a little cornstarch and liquid mixture and added it back to the pan. That helped. So my recommendation is flour the meat first. Got it? Okay, let’s move on with this recipe. Here’s what you need to get started.

Ingredients:

3 Tablespoons

3 cloves garlic, minced
1.5 pounds beef sirloin
1 – 16 oz can mushroom slices, with liquid
1 – 8 oz  can tomato sauce
salt and pepper to taste
3/4 cup red wine

Directions:

 

Cut beef into cubes and lightly flour. In a large skillet over medium/high heat, heat the olive oil and brown beef cubes with the garlic.

 

 

 

Add mushrooms with liquid, tomato sauce, salt, pepper and red wine. Cook for 30 minutes or until beef cubes are tender. Add a little more wine while cooking if desired.

 

Of course, you'll want to serve this with some rice (or other yummy starch) so you can enjoy more of the liquid/gravy!
