Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- In a large bowl, season the beef tips with salt and pepper.
- Place the chopped onion and minced garlic at the bottom of the crockpot.
- Add the seasoned beef tips on top of the onions and garlic.
- 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.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is very tender.
- 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.
- Serve over rice, mashed potatoes, or egg noodles and enjoy.
Notes
- For deeper flavor, you can sear the beef tips in a hot skillet before adding to the crockpot.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce and broth to better control saltiness; adjust at the end.
- If the gravy tastes too salty, balance with a splash of water or a pinch of brown sugar.
