Espresso Rubbed Beef Tips

INGREDIENTS

  • 20 oz. beef tips
  • 2 oz. good ground espresso
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 8 oz. asparagus - cut into slivers
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 lemon zest and juice
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 bottle Chianti wine
  • 1 sprig of rosemary
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 4-6 oz. butter - chilled - cubed

PREPARATION

  1. For reduction, pour wine into small pot with rosemary and garlic. Reduce down to 1/3. Set aside.
  2. For the topping, combine asparagus and red bell pepper in a small bowl. Add zest and juice, salt and pepper and 2 tbs. of E.V.O.O. Set aside.
  3. To prepare beef tips, toss meat with espresso, shake excess off and leave on a plate. Heat oil in a wide sauté pan. Add beef to it and sear all over to your desired doneness (rare to medium would be best). Season with salt and pepper.
