Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef stew meat (cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 1 medium Yellow onion (diced)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the beef stew meat in batches, searing each side until browned (do not overcrowd the pan). Once browned, transfer the beef to the crock pot.
In the same skillet, add the diced onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Transfer the onions and garlic to the crock pot.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Pour the mixture over the beef and onions in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.
In the last 30 minutes of cooking, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the crock pot to thicken the gravy.
After the gravy has thickened, stir in the heavy cream and allow it to cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve the beef tips and creamy gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
