- Cut the beef into pieces of similar size. - This will help ensure that the pieces cook evenly.
- Use high heat when searing the beef. - This not only gives a beautiful color to the meat but also helps to add more flavor to the final dish.
- Make sure you cook the starch all the way when you coat the meat. - This not only helps to remove any flour taste, but it will ensure that there are no clumps of flour left in the final sauce when it's done.
- Do NOT PEEK once these beef tips go into the oven. Opening the oven and the pot changes the temperature, and that can affect the tenderness of the beef in the end.
- If your gluten-free gravy isn't as thick in the end the way you want it, just pull a little bit of juice out and then whisk it with a few more tablespoons of arrowroot starch, and then put it into the rest of the pot. Cook it for a few minutes on the stove to allow it to thicken up more.
