CROCKPOT BEEF TIPS AND RICE
Steps:
- Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Cut meat into large cubes and toss with the black pepper and Cajun seasoning. Go light on the Cajun seasoning, since there is salt present in it and in both the commercial broth and the packaged gravy mix, so keep that in mind if you're watching your sodium. Wait to add any additional salt at the end, after tasting. Sear the meat in the hot oil until browned, transfer to crockpot. Add beef broth to the skillet and deglaze the skillet to remove all the browned bits. Transfer all of the liquid to the crockpot. Whisk together the water, wine, brown gravy mix, thyme, Worcestershire and hot sauce; pour into the crockpot. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or until fork tender. Remove beef tips, cover to keep warm, and set aside. Turn crockpot up to high and cook until gravy thickens. Can also carefully transfer to a saucepan on the stovetop to speed up thickening. If gravy is not thick enough, stir 1 tablespoon of cornstarch into a small amount of cool water to make a slurry, then whisk that into the gravy and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened. Taste, adjust seasonings, and return tips to the gravy, just to warm through. Serve over rice or noodles. Note: Use a braising type of roast for this recipe. You'll want an eye or bottom round (not top round) or a chuck (shoulder, arm, or blade) roast. I used a packet of Zatarain's Cajun brown gravy mix. If you prefer not to use packaged products, you can substitute homemade gravy for this recipe. Simply eliminate the gravy packet and make your own gravy from the drippings when the beef is cooked through and fork tender.
