Beef Tips with Quinoa

Teresa Ambra
Beef Tips with Quinoa is a savory and sumptuous beef entree that's made in the slow cooker. It uses beef, a rice/quinoa blend, bell peppers, carrots, peas, celery, onions, leeks and garlic. This recipe is seasoned to perfection and is healthy, low calorie, gluten free and clean eating. Dumping all the ingredients in the crockpot makes for a very easy week night dinner option. It's also a great one-dish meal for company.

Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 lbs. round steak cut in thin strips
  • 32 oz. beef broth or more as needed
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 1 leek green top removed, sliced
  • 2 large cloves garlic minced
  • 1 green bell pepper cut in strips
  • 1 red bell pepper cut in strips
  • 2 ribs celery sliced on the diagonal
  • 2 cups petite baby carrots
  • 1 cup green peas
  • 1 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 1 tsp. pepper
  • 1 tsp. parsley
  • 1 tsp. thyme
  • 1 tsp. marjoram
  • 1 tbsp. worcestershire sauce (Lea & Perrin’s is gluten free)
  • 1 cup rice and quinoa blend
  • fresh parsley or thyme, for garnish, as desired

Instructions
 

  • Pour beef broth into a large crockpot.
  • Add steak, onions, leeks, garlic, bell peppers, celery, carrots, salt, pepper, parsley, thyme, marjoram and Worcestershire sauce.
  • Cook on high heat about 2 to 2 ½ hours.
  • Add rice and quinoa blend and peas.
  • Turn crockpot on low heat.
  • Heat about 1 additional hour until heated through.
  • Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley, as desired.

Notes

NOTE: Avoid the temptation to add more rice and quinoa. While the recipe will be soupy when you add it to the crockpot, once the rice and quinoa cook they expand and will fill up the crockpot! You may even find it necessary to add additional beef broth or water to thin slightly.
NOTE: If reheating this, you will probably have to add additional beef broth or water as the quinoa and rice will absorb all the liquid in the recipe.
