Ingredients:

  1. - Beef Tips
  2. 1 teaspoons - Vegetable oil
  3. 1 1/2 pounds - stew meat, beef chuck or sirloin cut into large bite size pieces
  4. 1 teaspoons - salt
  5. 1/2 teaspoons - pepper
  6. 1 - onion chopped
  7. - 4-6 garlic cloves minced
  8. - Gravy
  9. teaspoons - 1-4 teaspoons butter (in directions)
  10. 1/2 cups - all-purpose flour
  11. 4 cups - low sodium beef broth
  12. 1 tablespoons - low sodium soy sauce
  13. 1 teaspoons - Dijon mustard
  14. 1 1/2 teaspoons - beef bouillon
  15. 1 1/2 teaspoons - sugar
  16. 1/2 teaspoons - EACH dried parsley, paprika
  17. 1/4 teaspoons - EACH dried oregano, dried thyme

Directions:

While meat is still on the cutting board, toss it with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add beef (work in 2 batches if needed) to the very hot skillet and let cook undisturbed for approximately 2 minutes, or until nicely seared on one side, then continue to cook while stirring until beef is browned all over but not cooked through. Remove beef to 6-quart (or larger) slow cooker and top with onions and garlic.

To the remaining juices left in the skillet, melt 1-4 tablespoons butter. The amount of butter will depend on how much juices/fat are left from searing your meat. You want approximately 1/2 cup between the juices and the butter. Whisk the flour into the butter until dissolved followed by all of the Gravy ingredients. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer until thickened to the consistency of thick gravy. Add to slow cooker and stir to combine.

Cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours or on LOW for 5-7 hours. Beef is ready when it is melt in your mouth tender. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve with potatoes, pasta or rice.
