Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons butter for searing and flavor
  • 2 pounds sirloin beef tips cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour for coating beef
  • 1 white onion diced
  • 8 oz 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
  • ½ cup sliced pepperoncinis optional for a tangy kick
  • 1½ to 2 cups beef stock adjust for desired consistency
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 3 tablespoons water for thickening
  • Kosher salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Season the beef tips with salt and black pepper. Toss with flour until well coated.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef tips in batches and sear until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion for 2 minutes, scraping up browned bits from the pan.
  • Transfer beef tips and onions to the slow cooker. Add mushrooms, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, beef bouillon, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, pepperoncinis, and beef stock. Cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours. Thicken with cornstarch slurry 30 minutes before serving.
  • After browning the beef and onions using the sauté setting, add remaining ingredients and pressure cook on high for 35 minutes. Natural release for 10 minutes, then release any remaining pressure. Thicken with cornstarch slurry.
  • Let rest for a few minutes and serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.

Notes

For an extra depth of flavor, try adding a splash of red wine to the sauce during the cooking process.
