Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor of your Braised Tips, consider marinating the London broil overnight in a mixture of soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce. If you don't have Kitchen Bouquet, a dash of soy sauce can provide a similar depth of color and flavor. For a gluten-free option, substitute the flour with cornstarch or a gluten-free flour blend to thicken the broth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?
Yes, while London broil is recommended for its flavor and tenderness, you can substitute with cuts like flank steak or sirloin. Just ensure to adjust the cooking time accordingly, as thinner cuts may require less braising time.
What can I use instead of beef broth?
If you need a substitute for beef broth, vegetable broth or chicken broth can work well, though they will alter the flavor profile slightly. For a richer taste, consider using homemade beef stock if available.
How can I make this dish spicier?
To add some heat to your Braised Tips, consider incorporating red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce when you add the broth. You could also serve the dish with a side of Lawman Chili for those who enjoy a spicy kick!
