Ingredients

  • 8 ounces sliced cremini mushrooms
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 beef bouillon cube
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 cup sliced pepperoncinis
  • 1 1/2 to 2 cups beef stock
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preparation:

  1. Season beef tips generously with salt and pepper. Toss in flour to coat evenly.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter. Sear beef tips in batches until browned and crusty on all sides. Remove to a plate and set aside.

Slow Cooker Method:

  1. Add diced onions to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  2. Transfer beef and onions to a slow cooker.
  3. Add mushrooms, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, beef bouillon cube, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, pepperoncinis, and 2 cups beef stock.
  4. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-7 hours.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 3 tablespoons of water.
  6. About 30 minutes before cooking time is complete, stir cornstarch slurry into the slow cooker.
  7. Continue cooking for the remaining time. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Instant Pot Method:

  1. Add beef and onions back to the Instant Pot.
  2. Add mushrooms, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, beef bouillon cube, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, pepperoncinis, and 1 1/2 cups beef stock.
  3. Secure the lid and set the Instant Pot to the "Meat/Stew" setting. Cook on high pressure for 35 minutes.
  4. Allow natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then carefully release remaining pressure.
  5. Turn on the "Sauté" setting.
  6. Whisk cornstarch into 3 tablespoons of water and stir into the Instant Pot.
  7. Simmer until gravy thickens. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Tips

  • For extra flavor, consider marinating the beef tips in a mixture of olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, and herbs before cooking.
  • Adjust the amount of beef stock based on your desired gravy consistency.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

This recipe transforms humble beef tips into a tender and flavorful masterpiece. The rich, savory mushroom gravy is the perfect complement to the melt-in-your-mouth beef. Slow-cooked or pressure cooked, the result is a hearty and satisfying dish that's perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
