Easy 20 Minute Beef Tips and Rice Recipe

It’s the first day of the school year and I’m already behind. By the time five o’clock rolled around this afternoon I hadn’t even thought about tonights dinner menu. So what’s a mom to do? She goes for a family favorite – Beef Tips and Jasmine Rice. It’s all done within 20 minutes, full of hidden veggies and super easy to create. 

Ingredients

• Olive Oil
• Salt and Pepper to Taste
• 1TBS Crushed Garlic
• 1/2 Red Bell Pepper, Chopped
• 1/3 Sweet Onion, Chopped
• 1 Cup Sliced Mushrooms
• 1lb Lean Sirloin Tips
• 2 Bags Jasmine Success Rice
• 1/4 Cup Milk
• 1 Can Of Your Favorite Beef Gravy

Instructions

1. Coat the bottom of a deep saute pan with olive oil and heat.
2. Add sirloin, garlic and salt and pepper to the pan. Brown the outside about 5 minutes.
3. Add chopped bell pepper and onion. Cook another 5 minutes.
4. Stir in Gravy, Milk and Mushrooms in that order. Bring to a boil and then let simmer for 10 minutes until the mushrooms have softened.

Normally I would have a pot of rice going while I’m cooking making this 20 minute dish take 30 minutes. However, tonight I tried something new – Success® Jasmine Rice. It’s the only boil-in-bag Jasmine rice available. Even better, it cooks up in just 10 minutes. It also comes in pre-portioned, BPA-free bags which mean no mess or measuring involved. 

So while my beef tips were cooking I added 1 quart water to a sauce pan and dropped in one bag of rice. I brought it to a boil and cooked for 8 minutes. Cutting 10 minutes off the cook time made this dish even more convenient and gave me a few more minutes to share in family conversation over the dinner table, rather than slaving away at the stove.
