– 1 15-ounce can of tomatoes – 2 large garlic cloves – ½ cup diced yellow onion – ½ cup diced green bell pepper (or jalapeno if you want it spicier) – ½ teaspoon cumin – ⅓ teaspoon paprika – Salt and pepper, to taste – 3-4 cups of cooked rice

INGREDIENTS

– 1 pound beef tips (cut into cubes from sirloin or similar tender cut) – 2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil – 2 large garlic cloves, finely minced – ¼ teaspoon salt – ¼ teaspoon  pepper

MARINADE

Add oil, minced garlic, and salt and pepper to a quart-sized Ziploc bag. Add beef tips and seal bag. Massage the beef tips to coat. Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours, up to 24 hours.

Heat a deep sided pan, like a brasier, over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinaded beef tips.

Cook over medium heat for around 8 minutes, turning the beef tips every few minutes.

Remove cooked beef tips from pan. Add diced yellow onion and green bell pepper, cooking over medium heat for 3-4 minutes.

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 45 seconds.

Add tomatoes, cumin, and paprika and stir to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then add the beef tips back in.

Stir to coat the beef tips in the tomato sauce, then put a lid on it. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Pair with rice and enjoy!
