Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef stew meat (chunked)
- 2 cups beef broth or beef stock
- 1 yellow or sweet onion (finely diced)
- 2 packages (1 oz each) brown gravy mix
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 5 garlic cloves (minced or pressed)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the chunked beef stew meat, beef broth, finely diced onions, brown gravy mixes, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper into your slow cooker, ensuring all ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it to LOW heat. Allow the beef and gravy to cook slowly for 7-8 hours, which will tenderize the meat and develop rich flavors.
- Serve: Once cooked, serve the beef tips and gravy over cooked white rice, mashed potatoes, or cooked egg noodles according to your preference. Enjoy the hearty and comforting dish.
Notes
- Using stew meat that is well-marbled will ensure tenderness and juiciness.
- You can substitute beef broth with homemade stock for deeper flavor.
- Adjust garlic and onion powder amounts to taste if desired.
- For a thicker gravy, you may cook uncovered in the last 30 minutes to reduce the liquid.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.
