Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef cut into 1 inch cubes, tips
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt sea salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter unsalted
- 1 yellow onion finely diced
- 1 red pepper sliced
- 1 green pepper sliced
- 2 ½ cups beef broth
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos
- 2 tbsp tapioca flour or cornstarch
- 2 cups rice white or brown
Instructions
- First, season the beef tips with sea salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- In a large skillet, add the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned beef to the skillet. Brown on all sides. Then, remove the beef tips to a plate.
- Next, add the butter to the pan. Once the butter has melted, add in the peppers and onions. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Add in the beef broth and coconut aminos. Add in the beef tips to the pan. Bring the mixture up to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and place a lid on the pan.
- Simmer over low heat for 1 to 2 hours, or until the beef is very tender. Meanwhile, prepare the brown rice according to package directions.
- Once the beef is done, make the slurry. Remove about ¼ cup of the liquid from the pot and place in a bowl. Stir in the tapioca flour. Once mixed, pour this mixture back into the pot.
- Continue stirring over low heat until the gravy has thickened.
- To serve, add the cooked brown rice to a plate or bowl. Add the beef tips, veggies, and gravy on top!

Notes
- Use sirloin or top sirloin for beef tips; stew meat can substitute if needed.
- Coconut aminos serve as a soy- and gluten-free alternative to soy sauce but gluten-free soy sauce may also be used.
- Simmer the beef until very tender for best texture and flavor.
- Tapioca flour or cornstarch slurry thickens the gravy efficiently.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat gently in a skillet over low heat.
