Ingredients
Instructions
- Rub the large steak with Lawry's seasoned salt.

- Bake at 250°F for approximately 30 minutes per pound, totaling about 90 minutes for a 2 lb. steak.

- Add the chopped celery and mushrooms; cook until tender.
- Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of flour over the vegetables and stir well to combine.
- Gradually add 1 cup of water, stirring constantly to create a sauce.

Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider marinating the steak in your favorite seasoning overnight. If you don't have liquid smoke, smoked paprika can provide a similar depth. You can substitute the mushrooms with bell peppers or zucchini for a different texture. Ensure the steak is evenly coated with flour to create a smooth sauce when adding water. For a twist, serve with Butterscotch Slices for dessert.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the sirloin tips over buttered egg noodles or your favorite pasta. This dish pairs well with a simple side salad or steamed vegetables for balance. A glass of red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, enhances the meal perfectly. For dessert, try Grandma Florence'S Pound Cake to complete the dining experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water or broth to maintain moisture. You can also microwave it in short intervals, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Avoid overheating to prevent the steak from becoming tough.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of meat for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute other cuts like flank steak or sirloin, but adjust the cooking time as these cuts may cook faster. Ensure they are tenderized well for the best flavor and texture.
What can I use instead of flour for the sauce?
If you want a gluten-free option, cornstarch mixed with water can be used as a thickener. Start with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and mix it with 2 tablespoons of water before adding it to the skillet.
How can I make this dish spicier?
For a spicy kick, add crushed red pepper flakes or a few dashes of hot sauce when cooking the vegetables. This will enhance the flavor profile without overpowering the dish.
