Ingredients

• 1 pound beef stew meat (trimmed and cleaned)
• 3 sprigs fresh thyme
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 fresh garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tbsp avocado oil
• 2 tbsp tomato puree
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp slap ya mama cajun seasoning

Instructions

1. Season the Beef: Begin by generously seasoning the beef stew meat with slap ya mama, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. This mix of spices will infuse the meat with a bold and savory flavor.
2. Saute Aromatics: Press the sauté button on your Instant Pot and add in the avocado oil. Once the oil is hot, add the garlic, thyme, and bay leaf. Cook for 30 seconds, just enough to release their fragrant aromas.
3. Brown the Beef: Add the seasoned beef to the pot. Allow it to brown on both sides for 2-3 minutes each. This step is crucial for developing a deep, rich flavor in the meat.
4. Add Liquids and Puree: Stir in the tomato puree and beef broth. The tomato puree adds a hint of sweetness and acidity, while the broth will create a rich base for the slow cooking process.
5. Slow Cook: Switch your Instant Pot to the slow cook setting. You can cook the beef on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4 hours, depending on your schedule. Stirring occasionally will ensure even cooking and flavor distribution.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Once the beef is tender and flavorful, it’s ready to serve. These slow-cooked beef tips are perfect over a bed of mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite grain. The rich, hearty sauce makes it a comforting meal for any day of the week
