🥘Ingredients

For the Beef Tips

2 pounds beef sirloin tips, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour

For the Gravy

1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups beef broth, low sodium
1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
2Season the beef tips with salt and pepper, then toss with flour to coat evenly.
3Working in batches to avoid crowding, brown the beef on all sides for about 4 to 5 minutes per batch, until a deep brown crust forms.
4Transfer the browned beef tips to the slow cooker.
5Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the same skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
6Pour 1/2 cup of the beef broth into the skillet and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon.
7Cook for 1 minute, then pour this mixture into the slow cooker with the beef.
8Add the remaining beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and bay leaf to the slow cooker.
9Stir everything together until well combined and the soup is fully incorporated.
10Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6 to 7 hours or on high heat for 3 to 4 hours, until the beef is fork-tender and the gravy has thickened.
11Remove the bay leaf before serving.
