If you want a hearty and savory meal, I highly recommend these beef tips with rice and gravy. All you need is your crock pot and some simple ingredients you probably already have on hand!
By slow cooking less expensive cuts of meat they become tender and tasty – it really enhances the flavor and you will get a restaurant quality meal that won’t break the bank. This recipe is always a huge hit at our house, and I’m sure it will be at yours, too!
Ingredients
2 lbs sirloin beef tips or stew meat, cubed
1/2 cup Gold Medal all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 Tbsp Bertolli extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 (12 oz.) package McCormick Simply Better Beef Gravy
2 cups beef broth
2 Tbsp Argo cornstarch
parsley, garnish
mashed potatoes, garnish
Instructions:
Combine all-purpose flour, salt and black pepper in a large, resealable plastic bag. Shake until fully combined.
Add beef tips in the flour mixture and shake until all pieces are thoroughly coated.
Heat olive oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, work in batches to sear beef tips until edges are browned.
Transfer to slow cooker and top with chopped onion and minced garlic.
Whisk together beef broth and beef gravy in a bowl until combined, then pour over beef and onion in slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 5-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.
Optional: take 1/2 cup slow cooker liquids and stir in 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Return mixture to slow cooker, cover and cook for another 20 minutes, or until more thickened.
Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
Serve with mashed potatoes or egg noodles and enjoy.
