Perfect Crockpot Beef Tips

2.5 pounds beef sirloin tips or chuck roast cut into 2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large yellow onion sliced
8 ounces baby bella mushrooms sliced, or white button mushrooms
3 cloves garlic minced
2 packets onion soup mix
1 10.75 oz can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup beef broth low-sodium
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons cold water
salt and black pepper to taste
fresh thyme sprigs optional garnish

Equipment

Slow Cooker (6-quart)
Large Skillet
Small Mixing Bowl
Whisk
Measuring Cups
Measuring Spoons

Method

Pat beef dry, season with salt and pepper, and sear in olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to slow cooker.
Sauté onions in the skillet for 3-4 minutes, add garlic and mushrooms for 2 minutes, then transfer to slow cooker.
Whisk onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Pour over beef and vegetables.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until beef is fork-tender.
Mix cornstarch with cold water to make a slurry, stir into slow cooker in the last 30 minutes to thicken gravy.
Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with thyme before serving.

Notes

Sear beef for better flavor. Keep slow cooker 2/3 full to avoid overcrowding. Use cornstarch slurry for perfect gravy thickness. Store refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months, reheating with broth to restore consistency.
