Best La Concha Beef Tips Recipes

BEEF TIPS

Steps:

• In a large skillet heat oil over high heat. Saute the onion until almost translucent.
• Add the stew meat and cook on high heat until meat is browned on all sides; about 3 to 5 minutes.
• Pour 2 cups water, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce into the skillet. Stir in garlic powder, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Meanwhile combine the gravy mix with 1 cup water. Mix thoroughly and stir into the meat mixture. Bring to a boil stirring frequently until slightly thickened.

BEEF TIPS WITH MUSHROOM, SHERRY, GARLIC AND BUTTER-ALMOND-CITRUS RICE

Steps:

• Heat a sauce pot over medium heat, add butter to the pot and melt. Add almonds and toast 3 to 4 minutes. Add rice and the zest of an orange and a lemon then turn the rice to coat, cook 1 minute. Add stock and bring to boil, reduce to simmer, cover and cook 17 to 18 minutes.
• While rice cooks, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 3 tablespoons olive oil, 3 turns of the pan. Pat meat dry. When oil ripples and begins to smoke, add the beef and brown 3 minutes on each side. Remove when evenly deep brown and reserve on plate.
• Add remaining olive oil to skillet, 3 turns, heat until oil ripples then add mushrooms and brown 7 to 8 minutes. Add garlic after 5 to 6 minutes. Season mushrooms with salt and pepper cook a few minutes more. Add sherry, reduce 1 minute, add beef stock and beef tips and their juices to pan. Reduce heat and cook 3 to 4 minutes more. Turn off heat.
• Fluff rice with fork and serve with the beef and mushrooms.

STOUT-MARINATED STEAK TIPS

Steps:

• Trim the silver skin and icky fatty parts from your flap meat, then cut into 3- or 4-ounce chunks, or whatever size you like. Place in a container with a tight-fitting lid; don't forget to leave extra space for the marinade.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, molasses, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, black pepper and garlic. Add the stout; be careful, it will foam a bit. There is really no need to add salt--the soy and Worcestershire are plenty salty.
• Pour the marinade over the beef tips and stir gently to evenly coat. (If you don't use all the marinade, it will keep, refrigerated, in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.)
• Refrigerate the meat for 8 hours or overnight; it will keep for up to 4 or 5 days. Cook as desired.

STEAK TIPS

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, peel all of the silver skin and 90 percent of the surface fat from the meat. Cut the meat into 3-by-3-inch cubes and place them in a non-reactive container.
• Mix the oil, Tuckaway Steak Seasoning and vinegar in a bowl; pour over the meat. Mix with your hands to be sure all surfaces are covered with marinade. Marinate the meat in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days. (More time equals more flavor!)
• Grill to your liking and serve with some homemade potato salad, coleslaw, or any delicious side you can think of.
• In a bowl, mix together the orange juice, minced garlic, minced onion, ground mustard, mustard seed, granulated garlic, granulated onion, salt and pepper.

RIB TIPS

Steps:

• To make the dry rub, combine the brown sugar, seasoned salt, chili powder, pepper, cayenne, Old Bay, sage, and onion powder and blend well. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place until ready to use, for up to 6 months.
• To make the barbecue sauce, combine the ketchup, sugars, vinegar, chili powder, dry mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and celery seeds in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve all the sugars. Heat, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
• Set up your smoker to cook indirectly at 250 degrees F. Season the rib tips all over with the barbecue rub. Place on the smoker and barbecue for 4 to 5 hours, or until the ribs tear apart easily, basting with the sauce during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

EMERIL'S GREAT GRILLING AND BARBECUE TIPS

Steps:

• -Brush cold grill with oil to prevent sticking
• -Use one-gallon zip-lock plastic bags to marinate up to 1 pound of meats or vegetables in 2 to 3 cups of marinade; seal, pressing out air, set bag in a large pan or baking dish and marinate, refrigerated, turning occasionally
• -Glass baking dishes work well for marinating too, but avoid aluminum, which will interact with acids in marinades, and soft plastic or rubber containers that pick up odors easily
• -Trim excess fat from meat to avoid flare-ups; slash fatty edges to keep meat from curling
• -Fill a plant mister with 7 parts water and 1 part vinegar; use to spray grill when flames flare up
• -Preheat gas grills at least 15 minutes; for charcoal grills, light at least 45 minutes before, and let burn to hot embers, coated with ash
• -To flavor your barbecue, add aromatic hardwoods, such as hickory, mesquite or oak chips or chunks or aromatic fruit woods, such as apple or cherry or vine cuttings; soak wood in cold water for at least 30 minutes, then add to hot coals
• -Begin grilling when grill temperature stabilizes at 300 Fahrenheit
• -Use your hand to determine approximate temperature; hold your hand 3 inches above the rack and count the seconds you can comfortably keep it in place: 5 seconds for low, 4 for medium, 3 for medium-high, 2 for high
• -For kebabs: grease flat, narrow metal skewers or soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes
• -For small, delicate items such as fish, shrimp or asparagus use an oiled grill basket for easy turning
• -For long-cooking vegetables or fruits (such as potatoes, whole heads of garlic or apples) cut a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil, oil well, fill with sliced vegetables or fruit and seasonings, drizzle with oil, seal and place on hot grill Use long-handled tools and tongs -- not forks -- to turn meat to avoid piercing and releasing juices
• -To prevent scorching, brush meat with prepared barbecue sauce only after it is cooked through Don't forget to use heavy-duty oven mitts
