Tips & Substitutions

To enhance the dish, sauté some mushrooms before adding them to the mix. This beef recipe is versatile and can easily adapt to your pantry staples.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the beef tips in wine sauce over a bed of egg noodles or rice to soak up the delicious sauce. Pair it with steamed vegetables, like green beans or a fresh salad, for a balanced meal. This dish pairs beautifully with Broccoli-Ramen Slaw, adding a crunchy contrast. For a heartier option, consider serving it with crusty bread to mop up the sauce.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, add a splash of broth or water to keep the dish moist. You can reheat it on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally, or in the microwave until warmed through. For best results, avoid reheating more than once.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of meat for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute the round steak with other cuts like chuck roast or sirloin. Just keep in mind that cooking times may vary depending on the cut's tenderness. For a quicker option, try using beef stew meat, which will still provide great flavor in a shorter time.
What can I use instead of red wine?
If you prefer not to use red wine, you can substitute with beef broth or grape juice for a non-alcoholic version. However, the wine adds depth and richness, so if you're using broth, consider adding a splash of balsamic vinegar for an extra layer of flavor.
How can I thicken the sauce if it's too thin?
If you find the sauce is too thin for your liking, you can thicken it by making a slurry with cornstarch and water. Mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water, then stir it into the sauce and let it simmer for a few minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.
