Ingredients
Instructions
- Remove all fiber from the tenderloin and cut into 1-inch strips.
- Place beef in a preheated skillet at 375°F and stir until browned on all sides.
- Add 1/2 cup Burgundy wine, water, bouillon cubes, onion soup mix, and 1/2 can mushrooms.
- Simmer the mixture until the meat is tender, about 45 minutes.
- Just before serving, add 1/2 cup Burgundy wine and 1/2 can mushrooms.
- Serve beef tips over rice.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using a higher-quality Burgundy wine. If you prefer a milder taste, substitute the Burgundy with a light red wine like Pinot Noir. To enhance the umami, add a tablespoon of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce. Ensure the beef is well-trimmed to avoid any chewy bits. If you don't have beef bouillon cubes, use a low-sodium beef broth for a healthier option.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the beef tips over a bed of fluffy rice for a satisfying meal. Pair with a side of steamed green beans or roasted vegetables for a balanced plate. A crisp salad with a tangy vinaigrette complements the rich flavors of the dish. For a twist, consider serving with Mama's Dirty Rice for an extra hearty experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Burgundy beef tips in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, gently warm in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to keep it moist. Alternatively, microwave in a covered dish, stirring occasionally until heated through. Avoid reheating multiple times to maintain texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?
Yes, you can use cuts like chuck roast or sirloin, but keep in mind that they may require longer cooking times to become tender. Slice them against the grain for the best texture. If using ground beef, reduce cooking time significantly and adjust seasonings accordingly.
Is it possible to make this dish in a slow cooker?
Absolutely! After browning the beef, transfer it to a slow cooker with the other ingredients and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours until tender. This method allows the flavors to meld beautifully and offers a convenient hands-off approach.
What wine pairs best with Burgundy beef tips?
A medium-bodied red wine like a Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon will complement the dish nicely. Alternatively, serving the same Burgundy wine used in the recipe enhances the overall dining experience. For a refreshing contrast, a chilled white wine like Sauvignon Blanc can also work well.
