The recipe came from <a href=\"https:\/\/12tomatoes.com\/no-peek-beef-tips\/\">here <\/a>and it calls for sirloin beef tips, that&#8217;s a rather expensive cut of meet at about $10 a pound currently, it&#8217;s basically a steak. The idea was to use like a chuck roast and cube it up and low and slow it. But now that I&#8217;m thinking of it, we probably should be doing that in the pressure cooker. I was looking for beef stew tender meat but that takes about 8 hours, this one is done in 3, well supposedly 2.5 but I&#8217;m cooking it for 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Made more progress on the garage.
