Each time i am so excited to make this recipe. Its inexpensive, super easy to make and you can modify it the way you want! Add mushrooms, rice or potatoes and make this recipe yours.

Basically beef tips are parts of sirloin or tenderloin. In stores the they sell it as a stew meat. If the pieces are too big, cut them in half for this recipe.

This recipe is not for a quick dinner. Beef needs to be cooked slow and on low.
