Crock Pot Beef Tips and Gravy Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 pounds top sirloin steak, cubed
• 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 teaspoon seasoned salt, divided
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 cup diced onion
• 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
• 1 bay leaf
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Sear the Beef

Begin by searing the cubed beef in batches using a heavy skillet, ideally cast iron.

While browning, sprinkle the steak with seasoned salt and pepper. Once the beef is seared, transfer it to your slow cooker.

Layer in Flavor

Pour the beef broth and soy sauce over the seared beef. Add the Italian seasoning and dried thyme.

Next, scatter the diced onion and sprinkle with granulated garlic. Tuck a bay leaf into the mixture for added flavor.

Slow Cook Until Tender

Cover the slow cooker and cook on the LOW setting for 6 hours or on HIGH for 4 hours until the beef is tender when pierced with a fork.

Be cautious with cooking times, as overcooking may cause the beef to disintegrate rather than hold its cubes.

Finish the Gravy

Create a slurry by combining 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of water.

Carefully stir this mixture into the slow cooker. Allow it to cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until the gravy thickens.

Remove the bay leaf before serving.
