Ingredients

Scale

For the Beef Tips:

  • 2 lbs beef stew meat or sirloin tips, cut into pieces
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

For the Gravy:

  • 2 tbsp cornstarch + 3 tbsp water (for slurry)
  • ½ cup heavy cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef: (Optional) Heat olive oil in a skillet and sear the beef tips until browned on all sides to enhance flavor and color.
  2. Season the Beef: Place the beef in the slow cooker and season evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  3. Add Aromatics and Liquids: Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, beef broth, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce into the slow cooker with the beef.
  4. Slow Cook the Beef: Cover and cook the beef tips on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours until the meat is tender and flavorful.
  5. Make the Gravy: About 30 minutes before serving, mix cornstarch and water to form a slurry, then stir it into the slow cooker to thicken the sauce.
  6. Add Cream (Optional): For a richer texture and velvety gravy, stir in the optional heavy cream and allow it to warm through.
  7. Serve: Spoon the beef tips with the gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and enjoy your meal.

Notes

  • Searing the beef is optional but adds extra depth of flavor.
  • You can adjust seasoning to taste before slow cooking.
  • Heavy cream is optional; omit for a lighter gravy.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Make sure to mix cornstarch slurry well to avoid lumps.
