Beef Stew With Beef Tips

Beef stew is one of my favorite fall and winter meals to make. It is relatively easy to throw together, most of the cook time is passive, and everyone in the family loves it. For this version, the beef tips are the star, and they soak up every bit of flavor during the slow simmer. This stew doesn’t rush. Give it a couple of hours, and it’ll pay you back with fork-tender meat.

It’s got range, too. You can swap out the veggies based on what’s in season or what’s in your freezer. Just keep the wine and the beef stock, and you’re golden.

This recipe is a total crowd-pleaser. Big flavor, minimal hands-on time, and the kind of leftovers that actually get eaten.
