Slow Cooker Beef Tips and Gravy is a classic comfort food dish that’s perfect for cozy nights in or easy family dinners. The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity – tender beef tips simmered to perfection in a rich, savory gravy.
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef stew meat
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 packet (1 ounce) brown gravy mix
- 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 can (10.5 ounce) cream of mushroom soup (optional)
- 2 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
1. Place the beef stew meat, diced onion, and minced garlic in your slow cooker.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the beef broth, brown gravy mix, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and the optional cream of mushroom soup.
3. Pour the gravy mixture over the beef in the slow cooker, making sure all the ingredients are well combined.
4. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.
5. If you’d like to thicken the gravy, mix together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry, then stir it into the slow cooker during the last 10 to 15 minutes of cooking.
