Elevate inexpensive beef cuts with Chef John's tasty beef tips, served over crispy potato tots.
Ingredients:
  • 1.5 pounds beef round steak
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
  • 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons tomato paste
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2.25 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 (28 ounce) package frozen bite-size potato nuggets (such as Tater Tots®)
Instructions:
  • Cut the beef into 3/4-inch strips, then slice at an angle to create smaller "tips." Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Heat oil in a hot skillet until shimmering. Add beef in a single layer and sear until browned on each side, about 3 to 5 minutes per side.
  • Lower the heat to medium and introduce tomato paste, garlic, and butter. Combine until the butter is melted, then mix in the flour. Cook and stir for 1 minute.
  • Pour in the broth and increase the heat to high until it simmers. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer until the beef is just starting to become tender, approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Simmer uncovered on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the meat is tender, for about 30 minutes.
  • Bake potato nuggets in the preheated oven until crispy and heated through, typically 20 to 25 minutes, while meat simmers.
  • Adjust the seasoning of the beef tips to your liking, then serve over piping hot potato nuggets.
