Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef stew meat
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Season the beef stew meat with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the seasoned beef and sear until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Transfer the seared beef to the slow cooker.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add the all-purpose flour, stir well to coat the vegetables, and cook for 1 minute.
Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, deglazing the skillet by scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then pour it over the beef in the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or until the beef is tender.
In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Stir the mixture into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
To thicken the sauce, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to form a slurry. Stir the slurry into the slow cooker 10 minutes before serving and cook until the sauce has thickened.
Serve the creamy beef tips over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
