Beef Tips - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lb. round, flank steak or venison, 1 or 2 in. cuts
1 large bell pepper
1 to 2 Vidalia Onions (flat)
1 (8 oz.) pkg. fresh mushrooms
4 to 6 Tbsp. olive oil
2 beef bouillon cubes
1 c. red wine (Merlot)
5 to 6 Tbsp. Balsamic vinegar
salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste
cornstarch or flour
cooked pasta or rice

Preparation

Using a black cast-iron skillet, heat oil and sear beef tips or meat of your choice, until browned. Add bell pepper, mushrooms and onions, saute until crisp tender. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, then add vinegar and bouillon cubes. Bring to a boil to dissolve bouillon cubes. Cook on medium-high heat for 10 to 15 minutes. Cover and simmer for 1 to 2 hours on low heat, stirring occasionally. (Do not rush simmer time.) Before serving, thicken with cornstarch or flour to your desired consistency.
