Slow Cooker Beef Tips with Mushroom Gravy

This hearty slow cooker recipe features tender chunks of beef simmered in a rich mushroom gravy — pure comfort food that practically cooks itself. Perfect for busy weeknights or cozy weekends!

Ingredients

• 2 lbs (900g) beef stew meat, cubed
• 1 onion, sliced
• 8 oz (225g) mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 packet brown gravy mix
• 1 packet onion soup mix
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch (for thickening)
• 2 tablespoons water
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Place the cubed beef, sliced onions, and mushrooms into your slow cooker.
2. In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, gravy mix, onion soup mix, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour over the beef and vegetables.
3. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the beef is tender.
4. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to make a slurry. Stir it into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking to thicken the gravy.
5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice — and don’t forget to spoon plenty of that delicious gravy on top!

Tip: For extra flavor, sear the beef cubes in a hot skillet before adding them to the slow cooker.
