Beef tips are a tasty and economical choice for hearty dinners that are easy on the wallet. Usually made from leftover — and often a little tougher — pieces of larger beef cuts, the beef is then chopped into "tips" that are packaged up and sold in the meat section of your market, sometimes labeled "stew meat." Scroll on to discover some of the more popular ways to enjoy beef tips: simmered in rich gravy, with cream sauce over noodles, or even piled atop mashed potatoes while swimming in a Burgundy wine glaze. You won't skip over this budget-friendly beef option again once you try one of these recipes.
