Ingredients

• 1 small onion, sliced
• 8 oz baby Bella mushrooms, sliced
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 lb sirloin steak, cut in 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

Instructions

1. Begin by placing the sliced onions and mushrooms at the bottom of a 4.5-quart slow cooker.
2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Generously season the strips of sirloin steak with salt and pepper, then add them to the hot skillet. Sear the meat on all sides for about 3 minutes, ensuring not to cook it through.
3. Transfer the seared meat into the slow cooker, layering it on top of the vegetables.
4. Add a couple of tablespoons of red wine to the hot skillet and scrape the bottom to remove any browned meat bits. Pour this mixture into the crock pot.
5. Season the beef with pepper again and add the Worcestershire sauce, red wine, and beef broth. Cover the slow cooker and let it cook on low for 6-8 hours.
6. Uncover the slow cooker and slowly whisk in the cornstarch and water mixture. Cover it again and cook on high for another 45 minutes or until the gravy has thickened.
7. Serve the flavorful beef tips over your choice of brown rice, buttered egg noodles, or mashed potatoes for a delicious and satisfying meal.
