Slow Cooker Beef Tips
Crockpot beef tips are slow-cooked to tender perfection in a rich, savory gravy, making them the ultimate comfort food to serve over rice or mashed potatoes.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. salted butter
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 lbs. stew beef I used top round, cut into 1 inch chunks
- 2.5 cups beef stock
- 2 cloves garlic Minced
- 3 Tbsp. cornstarch
- .87 oz. package brown gravy
- 2 Tbsp. dried minced onion
- 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Season the beef with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until lightly smoking, add the butter and stew beef. Brown the beef on all sides. (Do not cook beef all the way through, just brown the outside). About 3 Minutes.
- Add the browned beef to the slow cooker pot. In a large bowl, whisk together the beef stock, garlic, cornstarch, brown gravy packet, minced onion and worcestershire sauce. Pour over the beef and cook on low for 5-6 hours.
- Beef will be down when fork tender and the gravy has thickened.
- Serve over mashed potatoes, rice or egg noodles. Enjoy!

Notes
- Place any remaining crockpot beef tips in an airtight container. They will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Stew meat, beef chuck, round roast, or sirloin go great in this recipe. You may even enjoy trying it with venison.
- Make a mushroom gravy by adding 2 cups of sliced mushrooms (or a small can).
- Add a 1/2 cup of red wine (in place of some of the beef broth) for added flavor.
- Add a dollop of sour cream before serving -- this will make the dish taste similar to beef stroganoff.
