1 1/2 Lbs. sirloin beef tips
1 tsp. salt-free Cajun seasoning
1 Tbl. oil
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (14.5 oz.) can diced tomatoes
1 (14.5 oz.) can beef broth
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. white wine vinegar
1/2 tsp. dried basil
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. black pepper
2 Tbl. cornstarch
2 Tbl. cold water
mashed potatoes or rice
Sprinkle beef tips with Cajun seasoning. Cook beef in hot oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat 10 minutes or until browned. Add green pepper, onion and garlic; saute 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes with juice and next 6 ingredients. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer one - two hours or until meat is tender. Dissolve cornstarch in cold water; stir into beef mixture. Bring to a boil; cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve over mashed potatoes or rice. Serves: 4
Jenn's Notes: I used stew meat and cooked for around 1 1/2 - 2 hours. I also used Emeril's Essence for my Cajun seasoning, minus the salt. The cayenne from the Essence will leave a slight tingle on your tongue. Next time, I think I will only use 1/2 a can of beef broth to start and then add more if needed.
