Hey foodies! 😋 Ready to make some super tender and juicy Slow Cooker Beef Tips? This recipe is like the ultimate comfort food, and the best part?
The slow cooker does all the hard work for you! So grab your ingredients and let’s get cookin’! 💃
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs beef stew meat (cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional but SO good)
- 2 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (for thickening)
Instructions:
- Prep the Beef: If your beef isn’t already cut into cubes, go ahead and chop it up. This is going to make it super easy to cook evenly!
2.Add Everything to the Slow Cooker: Throw your beef cubes, chopped onion, garlic, beef broth, water, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and thyme into your slow cooker. If you’re adding mushrooms, toss those in too!
3.Cook Low and Slow: Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours. You want the beef to be super tender and delicious. Like, falling apart when you touch it with a fork. 🤤
4.Thicken the Sauce: Mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl until it’s smooth. Pour it into the slow cooker, stir it all up, and let it cook for another 15-20 minutes until the sauce thickens up.
Serve: Serve these beef tips over rice, mashed potatoes, or even some egg noodles. Whatever you choose, it’s going to be awesome!
Pro Tips:
- If you want a deeper flavor, sear the beef in a hot pan for a few minutes before adding it to the slow cooker. But if you’re in a rush, skip it! It’ll still taste amazing!
- You can add some veggies like carrots or peas in the last hour of cooking for a complete meal.
