Indulge in the ultimate comfort food experience with these incredibly tender beef tips, slow-cooked to perfection in a luscious mushroom gravy. This effortless recipe transforms simple pantry staples into a deeply satisfying and flavorful meal.

Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a 6- to 7-quart slow cooker, combine the beef tips, tomato paste, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian herb blend, salt, and pepper. Stir well to ensure the beef is evenly coated with the tomato paste and seasonings. Pour the beef bone broth over the mixture. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low for 6-8 hours or on High for 4 hours, until the beef is incredibly tender. (6-8 hours or 4 hours)

03

Step

About 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time, add the sliced mushrooms to the slow cooker. Stir to incorporate them into the gravy. (5 minutes)

04

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until completely smooth, creating a slurry. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Pour the cornstarch slurry into the slow cooker and stir gently to combine it with the gravy. Increase the heat to High, cover, and cook for an additional 30 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency. (30 minutes)

For an even richer flavor, sear the beef tips in a hot skillet with a little olive oil before adding them to the slow cooker. This will create a beautiful crust and enhance the depth of flavor.
If you don't have beef bone broth, you can substitute with regular beef broth or stock. For a more intense mushroom flavor, consider using a combination of different mushroom varieties, such as cremini, shiitake, or oyster mushrooms.
Serve these delectable beef tips and mushroom gravy over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, rice, or creamy polenta for a complete and comforting meal.
