Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 to 3 pounds beef tips or stew meat
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour or gluten free flour
- 3 tablespoons butter or dairy free alternative
- 1 onion diced
- 8 oz baby bella mushrooms sliced
- 1 ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cups beef broth
- ½ cup pepperoncini peppers drained (if desired for extra spice)
Instructions
- In a large plastic bag, place the beef tips and flour. Close the bag and shake to coat the meat.
- In a heavy skillet, melt butter. In batches, brown the meat on all sides. As the meat is seared, transfer to the slow cooker.
- Add about 1 cup of the beef broth to the skillet and scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan. Pour the broth over the meat in the slow cooker.
- Add all remaining ingredients to the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
- If a gravy is desired, remove about 1 cup of the liquid from the slow cooker. Mix together with 1 heaping tablespoon cornstarch and return to slow cooker, stirring to combine. Cook an additional 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until thickened.
- Remove pepperoncini peppers (if used) prior to serving. Serve over rice, mashed potatoes/cauliflower, buttered noodles, or alone.
