5 Restaurant Chains With the Best Beef Tips and Rice, According to Diners
For many people, beef tips are a comforting and nostalgia-inducing meal. Made with “tips,” small chunks of meat leftover from cutting larger sections. They are then cooked, usually slowly, to intensify the flavor and tenderness, and served with a sauce and sautéed veggies. Some people prefer to eat them with potatoes, while others enjoy them over rice. Where can you get the latter? Here are 5 restaurant chains with the best beef tips and rice, according to diners.
Luby’s Cafeteria
Luby’s beef tips and rice is a classic, slow-simmered Southern comfort dish featuring tender cubes of beef in a rich, savory brown gravy. The cafeteria-style restaurant allows you to choose how you want them served, with many selecting fluffy white rice.
Logan’s Roadhouse Tips
Logan’s Roadhouse is famous for serving Mesquite-grilled steak tips over Roadhouse Rice with two sides. There is also a “Queso Smothered” option that diners love, which features the mesquite wood-grilled steak tips topped with creamy queso, fresh pico de gallo, sour cream and tortilla strips.
