Beef tips and tomatoes over rice are a delectable entree and a wonderful way to enjoy southern food.  The rice really soaks up the flavor of the beef tips and tomatoes, and because of this, it has become a southern food favorite.  My family and I love this meal and sometimes to spice things up a bit, we add sliced chili peppers.  These give this southern food favorite a taste of Mexican influence and creates a wonderful fusion dish.  You can use fresh tomatoes or canned tomatoes.  I prefer to use the canned because it makes for a very quick and easy meal. 

What you’ll need:

·    1 lb of beef tips
·    1 tbs of real butter
·    garlic salt
·    black pepper
·    1 can of diced tomatoes, drained (any flavor you like will do)
·    hot cooked rice

In large nonstick skillet, melt butter between medium and medium high heat.  Add beef tips after pan is thoroughly heated and butter is melted.  Season beef tips with garlic salt and black pepper to taste.  Stir and flip the beef tips until desired internal temperature is reached.  Once the beef tips are thoroughly cooked add diced tomatoes.  Stir and mix tomatoes and beef tips well.  Turn heat down to low and cover dish with lid.  Let simmer for about 15 minutes.  Serve over hot rice.
