Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef stew meat
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the beef stew meat with salt and black pepper, then sear it in batches in the hot skillet until browned on all sides. Avoid crowding the pan.
Transfer the seared beef tips to the crock pot.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour the sautéed onion and garlic mixture over the beef in the crock pot.
Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, dried thyme, and optional mushrooms to the crock pot.
Stir gently to combine all the ingredients, ensuring the beef is mostly submerged in the liquid.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry.
About 30 minutes before serving, stir the cornstarch slurry into the crock pot to thicken the gravy. Replace the lid and allow it to cook for the remaining time.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles, and enjoy!
