Grandmaw Cain's Beef Tips and Rice

This is one of my family's favorite meals. I got this recipe from my Grandmother. I love to serve this with a side of green beans. Great the next day and reheats or freezes well. Great on those rainy days.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons butter
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 5 cups water
• 2 (6 ounce) packages long grain and wild rice mix
• 1 (8 ounce) package sliced mushrooms
• 2 pounds beef stew meat

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Melt butter with olive oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Place flour in a shallow bowl and dredge the beef tips in the flour. Brown the beef in the hot butter and oil, stirring often, about 15 minutes.

Step 2

Pour water into the pot and scrape to dissolve browned food bits from the bottom of the pot. Stir in the flavor packets from the rice mix and dissolve; mix in the rice and mushrooms. Bring the mixture to a simmer and reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until beef is tender and the rice has absorbed the liquid, 20 to 30 more minutes.
