Ingredients

Scale

Meat:

  • 2 lbs (907 grams) beef stew meat

Side Ingredients:

  • 1 (1 ounce/28 grams) packet dry onion soup mix
  • 3 tablespoons minced garlic

Liquid and Seasoning Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (473 milliliters) beef broth
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Thoroughly blot stew meat with paper towels to eliminate surface dampness.
  2. Transfer meat into a spacious 6-quart slow cooker, arranging pieces evenly.
  3. Combine all liquid and seasoning components in a mixing bowl, whisking thoroughly to create a uniform marinade.
  4. Generously pour the prepared mixture over the meat, ensuring complete coverage and immersion.
  5. Secure the slow cooker lid and set temperature to low, allowing the meat to tenderize and develop rich flavors for 7-8 hours.
  6. Gently stir the meat halfway through cooking to distribute seasonings and prevent potential sticking.
  7. Once cooking is complete, verify meat’s tenderness by easily pulling apart with a fork.
  8. Transfer beef tips onto a serving platter, spooning extra gravy over the top for enhanced moisture and taste.
  9. Present the dish alongside creamy mashed potatoes, fluffy rice, or tender egg noodles to create a hearty and satisfying meal.

Notes

  • Pat meat completely dry to enhance browning and prevent steaming, creating deeper flavor profiles.
  • Adjust seasoning by using low-sodium broth and soup mix for those monitoring salt intake.
  • Choose grass-fed beef for richer taste and potentially more nutritional benefits.
  • Freeze leftover gravy in small containers for quick future meal additions, maintaining maximum flavor intensity.
