Description

Succulent beef tips slow-cooked in a rich, creamy gravy with garlic, onions, and earthy mushrooms.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef stew meat or sirloin tips, trimmed of excess fat
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced thinly
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 ounces button or cremini mushrooms, sliced (optional)
  • 2 cups beef broth (low sodium preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (can substitute with cornstarch for gluten-free)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (full-fat or light)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pat the beef tips dry using paper towels and season them generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef tips in batches, browning each side for 3-4 minutes.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté the sliced onions for 4-5 minutes until softened.
  4. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Incorporate the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 6 minutes.
  6. Transfer the beef, onions, garlic, and mushrooms to the slow cooker. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring gently.
  7. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until fork-tender.
  8. About 30 minutes before serving, mix flour with cold water to form a slurry and stir into the slow cooker.
  9. Once thickened, blend in the sour cream. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  10. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour with cornstarch and ensure the beef broth is gluten-free.
