These slow-cooked beef tips remind me of a childhood favorite. I cook them with mushrooms and serve over brown rice, noodles or mashed potatoes.
Ingredients
1/4 pound sliced baby portobello mushrooms
1/2 small onion, sliced
1 beef top sirloin steak (1/2 pound), cubed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil
3 tablespoons dry red wine or beef broth
1 cup beef broth
1-1/2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
hot cooked mashed potatoes
Directions
Place mushrooms and onion in a 3-qt. slow cooker. Sprinkle beef with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown meat. Transfer meat to slow cooker.
Add wine to skillet, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Stir in broth and Worcestershire sauce; pour over meat. Cook, covered, on low 6-8 hours or until meat is tender.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth; gradually stir into slow cooker. Cook, covered, on high 15-30 minutes or until gravy is thickened. Serve with mashed potatoes.
