🍲 Slow Cooker Mushroom Beef Tips (Step-by-Step Recipe)

🛒 Ingredients (Serves 4–6)

• 1.5 to 2 lbs beef stew meat (or chuck roast cut into cubes)
• 2 cups mushrooms, sliced (white or cremini work best)
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste (optional, for deeper flavor)
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or cornstarch for gluten-free)
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (for browning)

Optional thickening:

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water (slurry)

👨‍🍳 Step 1: Prepare the Beef

Start by patting the beef dry with paper towels. This helps it brown better later.

Season lightly with salt and pepper.

👉 Tip: Dry beef = better sear = richer flavor in your final dish.

🔥 Step 2: Brown the Meat (Important Flavor Step)

Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.

• Add beef in batches (don’t overcrowd the pan)
• Sear each side for 2–3 minutes until browned

You are not cooking it through—just building flavor.

Transfer browned beef into the slow cooker.
