Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Beef stew meat or steak tips
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the beef stew meat or steak tips with salt and black pepper.
Dredge the seasoned beef in all-purpose flour, making sure each piece is lightly coated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the floured beef pieces for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. This step locks in flavor but is optional if you're short on time.
Transfer the seared beef into the crock pot.
In a medium bowl, whisk together beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Pour the mixture over the beef in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours, or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender.
About 30 minutes before serving, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the crock pot to thicken the gravy.
Replace the lid and let the gravy thicken while the crock pot continues cooking for the final 30 minutes.
Serve the steak tips and gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Enjoy your hearty and delicious meal!
