Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef tips (chuck or sirloin)
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
• 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, season the beef tips with salt and pepper.
2. Place the chopped onion and minced garlic at the bottom of the crockpot.
3. Add the seasoned beef tips on top of the onions and garlic.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, thyme, and rosemary. Pour this mixture over the beef tips in the crockpot.
5. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is very tender.
6. For a thicker gravy, whisk cornstarch with water to make a slurry. Stir it into the crockpot about 30 minutes before serving and cook on high until thickened.
7. Serve over rice, mashed potatoes, or egg noodles and enjoy.

Variation

1. Mushroom Gravy: Add 8 ounces sliced cremini mushrooms with the onions for earthy depth.
2. Herb & Red Wine: Replace 1/3 cup of the broth with dry red wine and add a bay leaf.
3. Peppercorn Twist: Stir in 1 teaspoon crushed black peppercorns for a bold, steakhouse vibe.

Cooking Notes

1. Chuck yields ultra-tender results; sirloin stays firmer choose based on texture preference.
2. If using a very salty soy sauce, start with 2 tablespoons and add more to taste at the end.
3. Sauce too thin without slurry? Remove lid for the last 20–30 minutes to reduce slightly.

Serving Suggestions

1. Serve over buttery mashed potatoes, steamed rice, or egg noodles to catch the gravy.
2. Garnish with chopped parsley or chives for freshness and color.
3. Pair with roasted green beans or a crisp green salad to balance the richness.

• Cut beef into evenly sized pieces for consistent cooking.
