Savory Beef Tips

Add all ingredients to either a pan or the instant pot and let it cook down until meat is fork tender. 

I used an instant pot for 30 mins then added flour and water mixture on the sauté feature until gravy thickened. 

To thicken use 2-3 tablespoons flour 1/3 cup water

If  you don't have an instant pot you can make this in a pan. It will just take your meat a bit longer to become tender. 

I served mine over buttered noodles with parsley but you could serve over rice or potatoes as well.

In a bowl add your beef with a tbsp of baking soda to tenderize it. Let sit for 20-30 mins then rinse.

If you’re using fresh broccoli you can cut it rinse it and add it to the meat and sauce mixture when it’s done. Put a lid on it and let it steam. Once bright in color it’s ready to eat and enjoy.
