What Are Beef Tips?
Beef tips are small chunks of beef that become wonderfully tender when cooked slowly. The best cuts for this recipe include:
- Beef stew meat
- Chuck roast cut into cubes
- Sirloin tips
- Round roast pieces
Chuck roast is often the top choice because its marbling breaks down during cooking, creating juicy, flavorful bites of beef.
