The Beef can be served with noodles, rice or mashed potatoes to complete the dish. Toss a bag of vegetables in the microwave while the noodles are cooking and you have dinner on the table in about 15 minutes.
Yield :
- 5 servings | Serving Size: 1 cup beef tips and broth and ¾ cup brown rice |
Ingredients :
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 8 oz baby Bella mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into strips, excess fat trimmed
- Salt & pepper
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ cup dry red wine + splash for deglazing
- 2-½ cups fat-free beef broth
- 2 tbsp corn starch + ¼ cup cold water, whisked together
Preparation :
- Place the onions and mushrooms into the bottom of a 4.5-quart slow cooker.
- Then, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Generously season the steak strips with salt and pepper and add them to the hot skillet, and sear the meat on all sides, about 3 minutes; do not cook through.
- Place the meat into the slow cooker on top of the vegetables.
- Splash a couple tablespoons of red wine into the hot skillet and scrape the bottom to remove any browned meat bits. Add these to the crock pot.
- Season the beef with pepper a second time and add the Worcestershire sauce, red wine, and beef broth. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
- Uncover and slowly whisk in the cornstarch and water mixture. Cover and cook on high for another 45 minutes or until the gravy have thickened.
- Serve the beef tips over brown rice (shown), buttered egg noodles, or mashed potatoes.
