Ingredients
Scale:
2 pounds of beef tips (chuck or sirloin cuts)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1½ cups beef broth (from the slow cooker)
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Season the beef tips with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Make sure the beef is evenly coated.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, sear the beef tips for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
Place the browned beef tips in the slow cooker. Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Stir gently to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the beef is fork-tender.
Once cooked, remove the beef tips and strain the cooking liquid into a saucepan. Melt butter in the same saucepan, whisk in flour until golden brown.
Gradually whisk in the reserved beef broth until smooth. Cook, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens.
Return the beef tips to the gravy and stir until well coated.
