Beef tips are small, bite-sized cubes of beef, often cut from the sirloin, trimmed for quick cooking in stews, stroganoffs, and skillet dishes.
They're a staple of American comfort cooking, especially in the Midwest and South, typically braised in gravy and served over rice or noodles, though they can also be grilled or sautéed. Common seasonings include garlic, onion, black pepper, and thyme.
