Grandmaw Cain's Beef Tips and Rice

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 pounds beef stew meat
• 0.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 5 cups water
• 2 packages long grain and wild rice mix , 6 ounce
• 1 package sliced mushrooms , 8 ounce

Instructions

1. 1

   Melt butter with olive oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Place flour in a shallow bowl and dredge the beef tips in the flour. Brown the beef in the hot butter and oil, stirring often, about 15 minutes.

2. 2

   Pour water into the pot and scrape to dissolve browned food bits from the bottom of the pot. Stir in the flavor packets from the rice mix and dissolve; mix in the rice and mushrooms. Bring the mixture to a simmer and reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until beef is tender and the rice has absorbed the liquid, 20 to 30 more minutes.
