How To Make Crock Pot Beef Tips With Gravy

  1. Sear the beef: Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the beef cubes, season with ½ teaspoon seasoned salt and black pepper, and sear until browned but not fully cooked. Transfer to the slow cooker and repeat with remaining oil, beef, and seasoning.
  2. Add broth and seasonings: Pour beef broth and Worcestershire sauce into the slow cooker. Sprinkle in Italian seasoning and thyme.
  3. Add onions and garlic: Top with diced onions, garlic, and tuck in the bay leaf.
  4. Cook until tender: Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours, or on high for 3–4 hours, until beef is fork tender.
  5. Thicken the gravy: In a small bowl, combine water and cornstarch, then stir into the slow cooker. Cook on low for an additional 10 minutes until sauce thickens.
  6. Serve hot: Remove bay leaf and serve beef tips and gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.

Recipe Tips

  • Do I need to sear the beef first? Yes, searing locks in flavor and makes the gravy richer, but you can skip if short on time.
  • Can I use a different cut of beef? Chuck roast or stew meat can be used instead of sirloin.
  • How to make the gravy thicker: Add extra cornstarch slurry or even a packet of brown gravy mix.
  • Can I make this ahead of time? Yes, it reheats beautifully and the flavors deepen overnight.
  • How to add more flavor: A splash of red wine or balsamic vinegar adds depth to the gravy.
