SOUTHERN-STYLE BEEF TIPS & RICE  

Here’s a Southern-Style Beef Tips and Rice recipe full of rich, slow-cooked flavor and comforting goodness: Southern-Style Beef Tips and Rice 

Servings: 4-6 Prep 

Time: 15 minutes 

Cook Time: 1.5 to 2 hours (or faster in pressure cooker)

Ingredients:

2 lbs beef stew meat or sirloin tips, cut into chunks

2 tbsp vegetable oil or bacon grease

1 medium onion, diced 

1 green bell pepper, diced (optional)

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups beef broth (or more as needed) 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tbsp soy sauce 

1 tsp onion powder 

1 tsp garlic powder 

½ tsp smoked paprika 

Salt and black pepper to taste 

1 pack KINDER'S Stew Recipe Mix 

2 tbsp all-purpose flour (for thickening) Cooked 

white rice or rice of choice 

Fresh parsley or green onions for garnish (optional) 

Instructions: 

1. Season & Sear the Beef: Season beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown beef in batches (don’t overcrowd), about 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove and set aside. 

2. Sauté Veggies: In the same pot, add diced onions and bell peppers (if using). Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute. 

3. Deglaze & Simmer: Return beef to the pot. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and beef broth—just enough to cover the meat. Bring to a boil, reduce to a low simmer, cover, and cook for 1.5 to 2 hours until beef is tender. Stir occasionally and add more broth if needed. 

4. Thicken Gravy: Mix flour with a little cold water to make a slurry. Slowly stir into the beef mixture. Cook for another 5-10 minutes until the gravy thickens. Taste and adjust seasoning.

5. Serve: Spoon beef tips and gravy over hot cooked rice. Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions if desired.
