Spicy Beef Tips are seriously tender pieces of beef sauteed and then slow cooked on the stove top in a spicy gravy.
Two things about this recipe, 1; the beef is extremely tender and 2; when I say spicy, don’t be turned off by this, you can make this a little bit spicy or you can kick it up a notch, it’s totally your call.
I will say I used 3 tbsp. of chipotle sauce and I didn’t consider the dish to be too spicy, just a little bit of heat that really added to the flavor of the dish.
I served this over my Creamy Mashed Potatoes and I think it’s the perfect side dish for the Spicy Beef Tips. If you are looking for a comforting dish, this is it.
If you are looking to entertain and need a recipe that feeds a lot, Spicy Beef Tips is a perfect recipe. Add some crusty bread and you have a full meal that everyone will love.
Brown the beef tips.
You will need to the them in batches.
Layer the bottom of the pan with onions.
Add the beef tips on top of the onions.
Mix up the sauce ingredients and add them to the pan.

Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 Tbsp. butter
- 2 – 2 ½ lbs. stew meat or chuck roast cut in chunks
- 3 tbsp. chipotle sauce
- 4 cups low sodium beef broth, more if needed, see notes below
- 5 cloves garlic, chopped
- 4 medium onions, sliced
- 2 tsp. cumin
- 1 tsp. chili powder
- 3 tbsp. cornstarch
- ½ cup water
Instructions
- To make the meat, heat the oil and butter in a large pot over medium high heat. Throw in stew meat and brown meat on each side, about 3-4 minutes. You will need to do this in two batches, so not to crowd the meat. Set meat aside.
- Add the sliced onions and garlic in the bottom of the pot and add the meat on top of it.
- In a bowl, add the beef broth, chipotle sauce, cumin and chili powder, whisk to combine and pour over the meat. Stir, then bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low, then cover and simmer for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender.
- When meat is tender, mix together the cornstarch and water, add to the pot and stir to combine. Cook until sauce becomes thick, about 5 minutes, and you are ready to serve.
- I recommend serving this on top of my recipe for Creamy Mashed Potatoes.
Notes
If you would like this dish to be less spicy or more spicy you can adjust the amount of chipotle sauce that is added to the dish.

Looks like a great comfort food, I wonder if you could add cheese to the potatoes?
Kay says
You could ABSOLUTELY add in cheese, I would think 1-2 cups of shredded cheddar would really add a nice flavor to the potatoes.
