Alright, so you’re makin’ beef tips and rice, huh? Good stuff, good stuff. But listen, you can’t just eat beef and rice, ya know? Gotta have somethin’ else on the plate. My old man used to say, “A meal ain’t a meal without somethin’ green.” He weren’t always right, that old coot, but he had a point there.
So, what vegetable goes with beef tips and rice? Well, let me tell ya, there’s plenty! Don’t go gettin’ all fancy on me now. We ain’t talkin’ ’bout no fancy-schmancy stuff you can’t even pronounce.
First off, you got your salad. Yeah, just a plain old salad. Lettuce, maybe some tomatoes if you got ’em, cucumbers too if they ain’t too bitter. A little bit of vinegar and oil, and you’re good to go. Keeps things light, ya know? Beef tips can be kinda heavy, so a salad helps balance it out. That’s what my daughter-in-law always says, and she reads them magazines, so she must know somethin’.
Then there’s broccoli. Now, I know some folks don’t like broccoli, but it’s good for ya. Steamed, boiled, doesn’t matter much. Just cook it till it’s tender, not all mushy. A little bit of butter, maybe some salt and pepper, and it’s tasty enough. Plus, it fills you up good, so you ain’t hungry again in an hour.
- Green beans are another good choice. Just like the broccoli, cook ’em till they’re tender. You can even throw in some bacon if you’re feelin’ fancy. Bacon makes everything better, that’s just a fact of life.
- And don’t forget about carrots. Kids like carrots ’cause they’re sweet, and they add a nice bit of color to the plate. You can cook ’em or eat ’em raw, doesn’t really matter. I like to slice ’em up and put ’em right in the salad.
- Sweet potatoes is good for your belly. Baked , fried or mashed, it is your choice.
Now, some folks like to eat corn or potatoes with their beef tips and rice. Nothin’ wrong with that, I guess, but it’s kinda heavy, ya know? All that starch just sits in your stomach. You’re better off with somethin’ a little lighter, somethin’ that’ll give you some vitamins, not just fill you up. My sister she always eat potato with beef and rice and now,look at her, big as a house.
If you are thinkin’ about cookin’ some Asian style beef tips and rice, bok choy,cabbage and even eggplant is good choice. Stir fry or just cook it and put some oyster sauce is really good.
Bell peppers, I like the red one the most, it is sweet and crunchy.Mushrooms, that thing is so so and lots people like it.
Oh, and don’t forget about jasmine rice! That’s the best kind of rice to eat with beef tips, in my opinion. It’s got a nice smell to it, and it’s not all sticky like some other kinds of rice. Just cook it up according to the directions on the package, and you’re good to go. Make sure you rinse the rice before you cook it though, gets rid of all the dust and whatnot.
So, there ya have it. A whole bunch of vegetables that go good with beef tips and rice. Don’t be afraid to try somethin’ new. You might just surprise yourself. And remember, eat your vegetables! Your body will thank you for it. And don’t listen to that old man, corn is good too, just don’t eat too much, it will make you fat.
In conclusion, beef tips with rice can pair with many vegetables. From the simple salad to the nutritious broccoli, green beans and carrots , there are plenty of options. Don’t limit yourself to just one vegetable; mix and match to find your favorite combinations!
