• Prepare the Beef
• Pat the stew meat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
• Place the beef in a 6-quart slow cooker.
• Mix the Seasonings
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth, dry onion soup mix, thyme, minced garlic, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, cornstarch, salt, and pepper.
• Pour the mixture over the beef in the slow cooker, ensuring the meat is fully coated.
• Cook
• Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 7-8 hours, or until the beef is tender and flavorful.
• Serve
• Serve the beef tips and gravy hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
• Notes
• Gluten-Free Option: Use a gluten-free onion soup mix and beef broth to make this recipe gluten-free.
• Add Vegetables: For extra nutrition, add carrots, mushrooms, or pearl onions halfway through the cooking time.
• Thicker Gravy: If you prefer a thicker gravy, remove some of the liquid toward the end of cooking and whisk in an additional 1-2 teaspoons of cornstarch dissolved in water. Return the mixture to the slow cooker and stir until thickened.
